G d'Estournel 2021 Chateau Cos d'Estournel

G d'Estournel 2021

コスの哲学を、軽やかに味わう。

サン・テステフの名門コス・デストゥルネルが手がけるメドック。メルロを主体としたこの2021年は、繊細でクリスタルのように透明感のあるスタイルを見せ、ジロンド由来のヨードを含む風がもたらす塩味を含んだ清涼感が印象に残ります。ローズマリーやリコリス、モレロチェリーの香りは、抽出よりもインフュージョンを思わせる繊細さ。シルクのような質感にヘーゼルナッツのニュアンスが重なります。地鶏のローストとともに。

Tasting note

The 2021 G d'Estournel shows a delicate, crystal-clear style, characterized by a "salty freshness" brought about by the iodine-laden winds of the Gironde. The elegant aroma of rosemary, licorice, and morello cherry spreads, and the flavor is so delicate that it resembles an infusion rather than an extract. The taste is silky smooth and lively, harmonizing with the fullness that is characteristic of G d'Estournel, and the addition of nuances of hazelnut creates a truly sensual finish.

Food pairing

Oven-baked whole sea bass with lemon and herbs, fresh oysters, roasted free-range chicken with vegetable puree, lemon and asparagus risotto, and fresh goat cheese with honey.

Winemaking & technical data

In 2021, the vineyards experienced more pronounced conditions with less rainfall than those in Cos d'Estournel, but the old vines, deep roots, careful care and the cooler temperatures near the Gironde allowed the vineyards to withstand the conditions.
