This wine is the kid brother of Château Cos Labory.
It is made from three grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
It is a nicely balanced wine with mellow tannins, which give it freshness and structure.
Vintage 2016 : James Suckling 92 |
This eighteen-hectare (44.5-acre) vineyard on top of the Cos hill is blessed with Quaternary gravel soils and exceptional drainage. To extract the best, we strive vintage after vintage to perfect the fit between the plots and the grape varieties. We also choose slow growing rootstocks and keep the planting densities high.
Over time, the changes came gradually through substantial investment into technology, particularly an ultra-modern vathouse and a new cellar. Having decided to vinify the wines at low temperatures to preserve and extract the fruit, we aim to offer wines that age well but are also enjoyable when still young.
