About the Manufacturer
The founder of Chateau Cos d`Estournel, Louis Gaspar d`Estournel, born in 1762 during the reign of Louis XV and lived to be 91 years old, had only one passion: Chateau Cos. Inherited a small vineyard, he produced his first wine in 1811 and decided to dedicate himself to vinification, experimenting with varieties and their processing. Quite quickly, the wines of Cos d`Estournel surpassed many of the most prestigious wines in popularity and were even exported to India. Louis even earned the nickname "Maharaja of Saint-Estephe". The wines of Cos d`Estournel were enjoyed by Queen Victoria and Russian tsars. Emperor Napoleon III loved these wines so much that several thousand bottles were delivered to the Tuileries Palace. A year before his death, in 1852, Louis sold the Chateau. Two years after the death of its creator, the 1855 imperial classification placed Cos d`Estournel at the top of the Saint-Estephe region. Changing hands many times, in 2000 the Chateau came into the possession of Michel Reybier, who aims to maintain the high standards of the estate, constantly striving for perfection while continuing the style initiated by Louis Gaspar d`Estournel. Thanks to his efforts, the wines of Chateau Cos d`Estournel can now be found in the private cellars of wealthy wine lovers throughout Europe, Asia, and America.
