Château Cos d'Estournel

This is architecturally one of the most elegant châteaux in Bordeaux, with 70 hectares under vine and one of the most striking facades as you drive up the hill after Lafite, mirrored on the inside by a very impressive modern chai. It was owned by the  d'Estournel family until the end of the 18th century but has been through several owners since. It is now in the capable hands of Michel Reybier who has taken the property on to new heights driven by investment and renovation.
