G D'ESTOURNEL
Red

Located at the northern tip of the Médoc, the vineyard of Château La Goulée was abandoned in 2007 when Cos d'Estournel acquired it. The aim was to produce an intensely flavoursome, tasty and charming wine thanks to an almost (90%) pure Merlot grape variety.

The contract was perfectly fulfilled with this magnificent 2019, a real delicacy rated 92/100 by M. Galloni (Vinous).

Quarin : 90/100 « Couleur sombre et intense. Nez très aromatique, fruité, frais. Bouche immédiatement grasse à l'attaque, se développant savoureuse sur une tannicité très enveloppée. C'est superbe de fondant. Nuances profondes dans la persistance. »
Galloni : 91-93/100 « The 2023 G d'Estournel is a seriously beautiful wine. Dark, layered and super-expressive, the 2023 has so much to offer. An explosion of red/purplish fruit, spice, rose petal, lavender and mocha makes a strong opening impression. This is an especially bold, fruit-forward vintage for the G, perhaps because of the inclusion of recently acquired parcels planted on clay/limestone soils. The 2023 is all about harmony, and there is plenty of that. »
Martin : 86-88/100 « The 2023 G d'Estournel has a very intense and ripe bouquet for this cuvée compared to recent vintages. It's opulent, almost ravishing. The palate is quite precocious with a granular texture and fine acidity, revealing a little graphite and a dab of black pepper on its linear finish. It is just missing a little amplitude, turning a little spirituous on the aftertaste. »
