The property :
Located in the north of the Médoc, on the hill of Saint-Estèphe, Cos d'Estournel appears majestically. Like a real Maharadjah's palace, the château and its pagodas surprise and captivate the eye. In 1791, Louis-Gaspard d'Estournel inherited hectares of vineyards and had the estate built. Adventurer and after having travelled the world, his taste for exoticism and the Orient will give to the Château Cos d'Estournel this architecture so singular in the Medoc. Owned by Michel Reybier since 2000, Château Cos d'Estournel continues to shine in the Saint-Estephe appellation and joins the lineage of the greatest wines in the world by distinguishing itself by its unique style where taste for beauty and excellence are a permanent quest.
