En primeurs 2024
Vision of the 2024 Vintage
« Crafting a great wine is a daily commitment, and each vintage is a new opportunity to remember that. The 2024 vintage, notably marked by a fierce struggle in the vineyard and late ripening, was a true balancing act. The incredible resilience of our terroirs, combined with the old age of the vines, allowed us to guide a vintage that ultimately holds great promise.
It is therefore with great pride that I present this vintage of remarkable subtlety. » - Michel Reybier
Viticulture
2024 began with a very rainy season, with 660 mm of rain falling between October 2023 and January 2024. Temperatures were cool from April to mid-July, which slowed both the development of downy mildew and vine growth. Flowering took place on May 27, and the low temperatures led to coulure and millerandage. Yields were lower, but this naturally aerated the grape clusters and helped maintain the vineyard's health. Additionally, early leaf removal was carried out starting in June. From mid-July to the end of August, the weather was dry and warm, allowing the berries to ripen beautifully with cool mornings and warmer afternoons. Some rainfall in September slightly rehydrated the vines before the harvest period.
Harvest
The harvest took place from September 17 to 27.
Aging
The wine was aged in 8% new oak barrels.
Tasting – Château Cos d’Estournel Blanc 2024
« In 2024, the vines of Cos d’Estournel Blanc, benefiting from their deep roots, proximity to the Gironde, and the attentive care of our winegrowers, yielded a vintage of rare finesse and subtle harmony.
Cos d’Estournel Blanc 2024 charms with its balance between tension and smoothness, supported by the generosity of Sémillon which brings roundness, while Sauvignon Blanc contributes freshness and elegance. It reveals aromas of quince and mirabelle plum, offering a vibrant and refined expression of the vintage. » - Château Cos d’Estournel

Histoire et anecdotes
The history of Cos d’Estournel, located in Saint-Estèphe, begins in 1811 when Louis Gaspard d’Estournel purchased vines to complement those he had inherited. The origin of the name Cos, meaning "hill of pebbles" in old Gascon, highlights the estate's ideal location. The architecture of the château is unique, with its sumptuous pagodas, a gate from Zanzibar, and numerous ornaments reminiscent of the exoticism of the Orient. As early as the 19th century, the estate's wines were exported as far as India. In 1855, Cos d’Estournel was classified as a second grand cru. In 2000, Michel Reybier became the owner of the château.
The open-mindedness and fascination with the Orient of the founder, Louis Gaspard D’Estournel, earned him the nickname "Maharajah of Saint-Estèphe." In 2004, the 2001 vintage of Cos d’Estournel was part of the top 100 Wine Spectator, obtaining a score of 94/100. For the 2016 vintage, Cos d’Estournel received the perfect score of 100/100 from Robert Parker and James Suckling.
