G D'ESTOURNEL
Red

Located at the northern tip of the Médoc, the vineyard of Château La Goulée was abandoned in 2007 when Cos d'Estournel acquired it. The aim was to produce an intensely flavoursome, tasty and charming wine thanks to an almost (90%) pure Merlot grape variety.

The contract was perfectly fulfilled with this magnificent 2019, a real delicacy rated 92/100 by M. Galloni (Vinous).

Vinous (A. Galloni): 91-93/100 "The 2024 Gd'Estournel is impressive. Deep, powerful and virile, the G is endowed with notable textural presence. Dark-toned fruit, gravel, licorice, mocha, lavender and spice are all amplified. This hearty Haut-Médoc has a ton to offer. Gorgeous."

J-M Quarin : 90/100 « Couleur intense et belle. Nez très aromatique et pour la première fois suave et plus parfumé que de coutume. Jolie bouche au déroulé bien construit, évoluant savoureuse, séveuse, parfumée, sur un toucher très agréable. C'est bon ! Remarquez le petit degré d'alcool très plaisant. »

Vinous (N. Martin): 87-89/100 "The 2024 G d'Estournel has quite an opulent bouquet in the context of the vintage, with conspicuous cassis and dark chocolate scents that percolate through the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm tannins. It's a little 'rigid' at the moment, with moderate lenght and a tannic finish. This deserves a couple of years in bottle to shave its edges."
