---Chateau Cos d'Estournel has stood as one of Bordeaux's Deuxiemes Crus since the original 1855 Classification — the hill of pebbles in Saint-Estephe that sits adjacent to Lafite and has built a reputation for wines that are rich, concentrated, age-worthy, and unmistakable. The estate's grand vin carries a unique incense quality in its perfume that doesn't show up anywhere else in Bordeaux, a signature that collectors recognize immediately.

The 2025 vintage delivered exceptional climatic conditions across the Left Bank, and Cos responded with a wine of perfect balance — density and energy without excess. Technical director Dominique Arangoits called it "a very interesting vintage," the kind of understatement that signals something real. The blend is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot, resting in 50% new French oak, and it's already showing the poise and concentration that define great Cos.

In the glass: deep ruby, with a powerful nose of spice, cedar, garrigue, rosemary, thyme, ripe blackberries, blueberries, cassis, and graphite. The palate is elegant and fresh, with lively acidity, tightly knit tannins that are ripe and integrated, and a harmonious finish with beautiful fruit persistence. The structure is built to age — this is a wine meant to develop over decades, not disappear in a few years.

Antonio Galloni summed it up cleanly: "The 2025 Cos d'Estournel is shaping up to be one of the wines of the vintage. Grand, dramatic and sweeping, with notable textural intensity, the 2025 hits all the right notes. More than anything else, I am blown away by the wine's magnificent balance. A masterpiece." James Suckling scored it 98-99, William Kelley called it one of the finest Cos has produced in a decade, and Adrian Van Velsen gave it 98-100 for being "both expressive and restrained; a monumental wine full of tension." The critics agree. We agree. This is what Second Growth Bordeaux is supposed to taste like.
