Part of Domaines Reybier, which also owns Cos d'Estournel & Chateau Marbuzet. To celebrate the 2020 vintage, 'Goulée by Cos d’Estournel' is renamed 'G d’Estournel'
Producer tasting notes: (2012 vintage) "The summer of 2012 was particularly hot and the grapes ripened perfectly. This reflects in the wine, which has a fine brilliant colour and a rich flavour. Goulée by Cos d’Estournel 2012 has a beautiful crimson hue, as well as plenty of substance and complexity. It is quite charming on the palate with delicious red fruit flavours and elegant, silky tannin." - Chateau Cos d'Estournel

About the Product
- Producer Notes
- The bounty and grace of nature. Goulée by Cos d’Estournel brings to mind a light sea breeze, refreshing eucalyptus and the tantalizing scents of juicy, ripe berries and rich cacao beans… Evoking an invigorating afternoon spent on the water with friends or a delicious meal in an oceanfront bistro softly lit by the glowing rays of the sun, Goulée by Cos d’Estournel is decidedly untamed, a bold and expressive wine. Goulée by Cos d’Estournel is renamed G d’Estournel from the 2019 vintage.

Licorice, coffee, toast, spice and blackberry in the nose. On the mouth, the wine is soft, fresh, sweet and tart, with licorice on the back end.
2012 Vintage
Tasted: Feb 2015
A balanced and harmonious 2012 with fine tannins. Walnut, currant and chocolate character. Medium to full body and a savory finish. Shows improvement from years past. Drink in 2018.
2012 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2015
Cos d'Estournel's Médoc venture is still not quite in its place. This wine has ripe blackberry fruits, but an earthy character gives it a rough edge. Drink from 2017.
2012 Vintage
Tasted: Apr 2013
Very nice ripe nose, dark berries, fine herbs and spices, good grip, rather full, with well melted tannin, good length, juicy fruit and a long finish.

Knackig, frisch, saftig, macht Spass. Auch hier ist der Stil deutlich konsumentenfreundlicher geworden - erfreulich.

Vintage quality: Good
Current condition: Ready to drink, will keep
The 2012 vintage for Bordeaux was small and difficult at times, but not without moments of greatness.
Spring was tricky, with damp conditions – April was extraordinarily wet – delaying both budburst and flowering, the latter finally occurred in June. Howev...
