Previously settled on firm tannins that made them stark in their youth, Cos Labory's wines have since 2015 changed in style, becoming more pleasant and gaining in depth and refinement (its vineyard is adjacent to those of Lafite-Rothschild and Cos d'Estournel).
The Audoy family having sold its vineyard to the neighboring Cos d'Estournel at the beginning of 2023, a new era begins at Cos Labory.
Rated 94/100 by the Revue du Vin de France « Le vin se révèle délicieux, fin et gourmand. Son côté digeste et son équilibre le rendent déjà irrésistible » (Sept. 2021).
Rated 92/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin «le vin avance savoureux en prenant du goût entre le milieu et la finale, le tout sans jamais marquer le tannin. Belle longueur. Un superbe Outsider.» (March 2022)
Rated 93/100 by la Revue du Vin de France « Un vin qui séduit par son équilibre, son côté admirablement digeste et sa finale en finesse.» (September 2022)
Rated 94/100 by La Revue du Vin de France « Voilà une affaire à ne pas laisser passer. Ce cru classé discret, dans l'ombre des stars Cos d'Estournel, Montrose ou désormais Calon Ségur, joue depuis des années sa partition avec justesse. La dégustation des 2005, 2012 et 2019 démontre que les vins sont plus que sérieux, dans un style toujours équilibré et classiquement médocain. Une marque de grande confiance.» (December 2022)

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.
