Château COS D'ESTOURNEL
2ème grand cru classé
- 2024 Futures
- Saint-estèphe
The very high quality of Cos d'Estournel's recent vintages is impressive, placing it undoubtedly among the first great classified growths of the Médoc. A single qualifier comes to mind when we think of Cos d'Estournel: monumental, for its wines as well as for its cellar.
Bettane & Dessauve : 97-98/100 « Grande couleur, grand corps, grande suite en bouche, difficile d’imaginer vin plus complet dans ce millésime : grande garde garantie. »
La Revue du Vin de France : 95-96/100 « “Raffinement” est sans doute l’adjectif qui qualifie le mieux ce Cos d’Estournel 2024. Le vin ne manque cependant pas de volume, avec un cœur de bouche dense et une finale montante. Avec moins de 13° d’alcool il se montre particulièrement digeste, sans pour autant manquer de potentiel de garde. »
J-M Quarin : 95/100 « Couleur noire. Nez intense, fin, pur et fruité. Touche légèrement boisée à l'agitation du verre. Ample à l'attaque, juteux en milieu de bouche, avec de la classe dans le toucher, le vin fond en finale, puissant, séveux et très long. C'est incroyable de ressentir une telle puissance avec un si petit degré d'alcool ! »
Vinous (A. Galloni) : 95-98/100 "The 2024 Cos d'Estournel could very well be one of the wines to the vintage. Bright and vibrant in the glass, with tons of energy, the 2024 impresses with its vertical structure, depth and overall balance. Blue/purplish fruit, spice, new leather, lavenderand mocha are beautifully delineated throughout. The 2024 is super-classic. The modest 12.8% alcohol is notable, especially because that also means there is less extraction of wood. Cos Is one of early favorites in 2024."
Vinous (N. Martin) : 93-95/100 "The 2024 Cos d'Estournel has an atypically powerful bouquet, revealing black fuit laced with graphite and gravelly scents. The palate has a Pauillac-like entry that's fresh but certainly intense. There's plenty of grip in this Cos d'Estournel that's a little sweeter and reassuringly persistent on the finish compared to its peers. It does not deliver the mineralité of a top-flight Cos d'Estournel, though there's certainly much more fruit intensity than you would expect given the growing season. I observed more classicism during my second record, which suggests that the depthof fruit may become more prominent during barrel maturation."
