2013 Cos dEstournel Blanc St-Estephe

2013 Cos dEstournel Blanc St-Estephe Golden yellow color. Aromatic nose of ripe yellow fruit, quince, ripe lemon and white pepper hints. Round in the mouth, with a juicy yellow fruit attack, backed up by a nice, long and crisp finish. The vineyard of Château Cos d’Estournel now covers 91 hectares. On this terroir with meager peaks and on the southern slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon (60% of the vineyard) find their soils of choice. On the eastern slopes and on the coasts where the limestone basement of Saint-Estèphe is exposed, the Merlots (40% of the vineyard). Only wines from vineyards over twenty years old will bear the name of Château Cos d’Estournel. Density from 8 to 10,000 feet per hectare. Each winemaker has the personal responsibility of 45,000 vines, which he takes care of every year. These farming methods are essentially manual. The harvest is of course also manual and it is handmade that the grapes, collected in special crates, will be carefully sorted.At Château Cos d’Estournel,
