Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Not displaying the exuberance of La Goulée that is shown in most vintages, but it has plenty of other things to make up for it. Lots of raspberry, blackberry fruits, with supple tannins and enough fresh acidities to cut through food - a great early-to-medium-term drinker. A little short on the finish, not quite as strong as the 2019 vintage. This is a soil which is pretty reactive to temperature so can be a warning sign in dry years, but at the same time there is a pretty strong estuary influence which balances things out.

Wine Spectator

Direct, with a pure beam of black currant and black cherry puree, underscored by a flash of licorice and some mulling spices on the sleek finish. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2026. 6,000 cases made, 900 cases imported.

Winery Notes

To celebrate the 2020 vintage, 'Goulée by Cos d’Estournel' is renamed 'G d’Estournel'. A fascination with the Far East. G d’Estournel evokes the wonderment of an explorer returned home from the Far East, his soul replete with luminous memories of majestic Indian elephants, shimmering Burmese gold, the finest of Nepalese silks, the warm glow of Vietnamese lanterns… A harmony of delectable fruit, a whiff of incense, the sheen of a case inlaid with mother of pearl… and memories of these refined, opulent delights suddenly spring back to life.
