Goulée by Cos d’Estournel

Goulée by Cos d’Estournel was born from the ambition to make a great authentic wine on an extreme terroir.

Land of audacity and humility, mysterious and wild, Goulée attests to a long wine tradition that has braved the elements for the benefit of an unsuspected terroir. The Goulée vineyard has been part of the wine heritage of Cos d’Estournel for more than fifteen years. It is one of the last that we cross when we go up the Gironde. A land of iodine, shaped by the winds, close to the tides.

This 2012 vintage has a garnet color with violet reflections and jumps out of the glass with vivid aromas of red and black ripe plums, cherries and blackberries, with notes of spice cake, pencil lead and star anise. Medium-bodied, it shows in the mouth a weft of soft and juicy tannins, as well as plenty of freshness, ending with a hint of herbs and wood smoke. The nose blends memories of blackcurrant and violet with aromas of eucalyptus, thyme and rosemary.
