The Cos d'Estournel 1989, a jewel of Saint-Estèphe, draws its complexity from the gravelly soils of Bordeaux. This mature, barrel-aged wine offers notes of dark fruits and spices, a structured and velvety palate, and a persistent minerality. Perfect with duck breast or a cheese board.
A legendary estate rooted in the gravelly soils of Saint-Estèphe, where the boldness of Louis-Gaspard d'Estournel forged a unique style, balancing power and refinement.
- Terroir: Gravelly and clay-limestone soils of the Saint-Estèphe appellation, lending the wines a distinctive minerality and a firm tannic structure.
- Vinification: A generous Merlot-based blend, aged in oak barrels for a harmonious balance between density and elegance, never sacrificing freshness.
Tasting notes for Château Cos d'Estournel 1989
To the eye: Deep garnet robe with tawny reflections, of a silky density that heralds a rich material patinated by time.
On the nose: Aromas of wild blackberry and candied blackcurrant intertwine with notes of cedar, blonde tobacco, and forest floor, lifted by a saline touch and a hint of licorice.
On the palate: Velvety and fleshy texture, carried by a lively acidity and a chalky minerality, while the silky tannins stretch into a long, spiced finish.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux glass to fully release its complexity.
Vintage 1989
A sunny and generous vintage, where the summer heat ripened the grapes to perfection, yielding a wine that is both powerful and of rare elegance.
- Aging potential: To be enjoyed now or cellared until 2030, in a cool cellar (12–14°C) away from light.
