Château Cos d’Estournel, located in the Saint-Estèphe appellation, is one of the "Super Seconds" of the Médoc. Cos d’Estournel was established by a unique character, Louis Gaspard d’Estournel , nicknamed the "Maharajah of Saint-Estèphe" due to his affinity for the Orient and particularly for wines "returning from the Indies." Exceptional terroir, significant efforts, and substantial investments have propelled this estate to rapid success. Today, Cos d’Estournel stands among the greats of Bordeaux. Since 2000, it has been owned by Michel Reybier.
Saint-Estèphe is the northernmost of the four famous communes of the Médoc peninsula in Bordeaux, France. Known for producing powerful, tannic, and long-lived red wines, Saint-Estèphe's terroir is characterized by its gravelly soil with a high clay content. This unique soil composition, combined with the region's maritime climate, allows for excellent drainage and water retention, particularly beneficial during dry seasons. Saint-Estèphe wines are typically blends dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot and smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The wines are often described as robust and structured, requiring significant aging to reach their full potential.
Located between Pauillac and St-Estèphe, the hill of Cos rises 20 meters above the Gironde, benefiting from a microclimate moderating extreme temperatures. Resting on limestone with Quaternary gravel, it ensures ideal drainage. This unique climate and terroir allow Cabernet Sauvignon to mature evenly. Cos d'Estournel vintages consistently deliver rich, fruity wines with mature, fine tannins, allowing for long aging, often lasting decades for the finest vintages.

Frequently Asked Questions
En Primeur, also known as "futures," is the opportunity to purchase wines while they are still aging in the producer’s cellar, before they are bottled and released to the public. Buying En Primeur allows you to secure highly sought-after wines at an early stage, often at a better value than post-release pricing.
Purchase: When you purchase En Primeur wines, you are paying only for the cost of the bottles at the time of ordering. Shipping charges, applicable tariffs, and taxes will be billed separately once the wines are ready for delivery to the United States.
Securing Your Wines: Once your order is placed, we immediately work to secure your allocation.
Updates and Confirmation: As the wines prepare for shipment to the U.S., typically around September or October following the vintage release, we will reach out to confirm your shipping information and provide an invoice for any outstanding shipping and tariff fees.
Shipping: After final payment is completed, we will ship your wines to you. Please note that wines will not be shipped until all outstanding balances are paid in full.
Because En Primeur purchases are secured specifically based on your order, cancellations are not permitted after the order is placed. If you have any concerns, please contact us at hello@heritagecellar.com, through the form on our website, or via chat - we're happy to help answer any questions before you complete your order.
While we strive to provide accurate timelines, delays can sometimes occur due to factors beyond our control, such as shipping logistics or regulatory changes. We will keep you updated throughout the process. In the rare event that a wine becomes unavailable, we will offer you the choice to wait, select a substitute of similar style and value, or receive a refund for the cost of the wine.
Shipping is not included in the initial purchase price. Once the wines are ready to ship, we’ll reach out to confirm your details and send a final invoice for any shipping and tariff charges. Nothing ships until all final balances are paid. Usually ships in the fall two (2) years following the vintage.
