G D’Estournel 2020

To celebrate the 2020 vintage, Goulée by Cos d’Estournel is renamed G d’Estournel.

In the 2020 vintage, Merlot from the vineyard in the northern part of Médoc, are just as exceptional as they are at Cos d’Estournel. It saw more extreme weather conditions and less rain than Saint-Estèphe, but the vines being aged 35 years old on average, they were able to compensate thanks to their roots, which forever dig deeper from one year to the next, and the fresh air and minerality brought by the nearby Gironde Estuary and ocean.

The resulting wine displays a unique profile: the balance and aromatics of a fresh vintage are accompanied by an acidity and a quality of tannins usually observed in warmer vintages.

G d’Estournel 2020, carried by the richness of the Merlot, is essentially delectable, and marked by notes reminiscent of salty sea breezes and a black pepper touch that lend it a great energy.
