Château Cos Labory offers a singular interpretation of the Saint-Estèphe appellation and another expression of the hill of Cos. Once an integral part of Louis-Gaspard d’Estournel’s original estate in the mid-nineteenth century, the estate grows its vines on slopes whose  exposures contrast those of the prestigious vineyard of Cos d’Estournel.

Northern and western exposures, a geological diversity and prevailing winds forge wines suffused with the freshness of the nearby ocean. Each vintage is an expression of the nuances of these slopes. Plot selection and a minimalist approach to winemaking are carried out with a single goal in mind: the  precision and balance of the blend.

Rather than delivering a formatted style, each vintage is a faithful expression of the grapes and the specificities of the terroir that yield them, with a strength and sincerity that reflect the temperament of the site on which they grow. Helmed by Michel Reybier and his family, Cos Labory is a testament to an ongoing commitment to bringing the appellation of Saint-Estèphe to its truest forms of expression.

The 2024 vintage offers a vibrancy that is both intense and light and begs to be enjoyed from a young age.
