2014 Chateau Cos D'Estournel Saint-Estephe

The 2014 Château Cos d’Estournel is the superstar of a spectacular Bordeaux vintage. 

With 98 points from James Suckling and 97-point Cellar Selection honors from Wine Enthusiast—who called it “a great wine with huge potential”—it shares the same scores as its next-door neighbor Lafite Rothschild, which goes for $877 per bottle!

This Cos d’Estournel is just starting to ease into its prime drinking window. Opening with aromas of rich blackberry, cassis, pencil shavings, and subtle sweet spice, the palate is beautifully integrated—but the frame can take it years more in the cellar. 

Average price on this bottle is $225, and Wine.com lists it at $190. Our price of $150 offers you a classic Super Second that gives the First Growth fits. Secure yours before it sells out.

Separated from Lafite by a narrow stream, Cos d’Estournel occupies Saint-Estèphe's premier gravel ridge. It was founded in 1811 by Louis-Gaspard d’Estournel—affectionately dubbed the "Maharajah of Saint-Estèphe" for his fascination with Asia and his exotic pagoda architecture—and it has long delivered First Growth–level pedigree at a fraction of First Growth prices.

Thanks to Saint-Estèphe’s unique gravel-over-clay terroir and an exceptionally warm late summer, the 65% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend achieved flawless maturity, yielding a bottle defined by deep concentration, vibrant acidity, and polished structure. It’s entering its prime drinking window right now, and we’ve got an allocation straight from the cool cellars in Bordeaux. 

Don’t miss this—it’s one of the best deals you’ll find in blue-chip Bordeaux with age.
