The Northern Médoc Gem: Goulée by Cos d’Estournel

GOULEE by Cos d’Estournel is the vibrant, approachable red wine produced by the team behind the prestigious Second Growth estate in Saint-Estèphe. Sourced from a unique gravel-laden terroir in the northern Médoc, this wine captures the invigorating freshness and rich fruit character of the region. It’s crafted with the same meticulous standards as the Grand Vin, offering a luxurious Bordeaux experience that is immediately rewarding and cellar-worthy.

Sommelier Tasting Notes

• Color: Deep, brilliant ruby red.
• Nose: A rich and opulent nose of ripe red and black berries (cassis, mulberry), complemented by intriguing spicy, mineral, and graphite notes.
• Palate: Full, generous, and well-structured, the palate features elegant, silky tannins and a core of fresh, ripe fruit. The Merlot-dominant blend ensures a charming roundness, while the Cabernet Sauvignon provides a fresh, peppery lift on the long finish.

Pairing & Serving Excellence

This powerful yet elegant Bordeaux is a perfect partner for hearty, classic cuisine. Decant for one hour and serve at 60-64°F (16-18°C) to fully appreciate its complexity.

• Food Pairings: Classic Beef Wellington, slow-cooked short ribs, mushroom risotto.
• Cellaring Potential: Enjoyable now, but can be cellared for 5 to 10+ years.
