The EDGE Singapore (March 27, 2006)World Gourmet Summit 2006
Chateau Cos D'Estournel , ST. ESTEPHE
If you had the good fortune to try wines from Chateau Lafite-Rothschild, then you can be sure a glass of wine from Chateau Cos D'Estournel will be a winner. That's because the parcel of land acquired by Chateau Cos d'Estournel has similar soil conditions to that of the Chateau Lafite-Rothschild.
"Cos" means "pebbles" in English. The winery also known as the Hill of Pebbles is situated 65ft above sea level; and the south-facing and east-facing slopes all conspire to produce some of the best Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grape varietals.
The wines have a unique taste, particularly the ones made from vines that are more than 20 years old.
Winemaker Jean-Guillaume Prats will be at the World Gourmet Summit to share secrets on making good wines.

The result is highly audacious : extremly generous, ripe, long and spicefull, Cos d’Estournel is now considered as the best from Saint-Estèphe, and one of the very first in Médoc.
