Château Cos Labory, Grand Cru Classé winery in Saint-Estèphe, France
Château Cos Labory is a Grand Cru Classé winery in Saint-Estèphe built on a pebble hill, spanning about 35 hectares of vineyard. The vines grow on deep gravel with clay and limestone base, composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot varieties.
The estate was originally established by the Labory family and changed ownership to Louis Gaspard d'Estournel in 1845. It passed to English banker Charles Martyns in 1852, bringing an international perspective to its management.
The name derives from the hilltop where it was established, reflecting a strong connection to the local landscape. You can see how the buildings and vineyard layout express the character of this specific place.
The wines are best served between 16 and 18 degrees Celsius and pair well with red meats, poultry, and game dishes. Plan your visit during harvest season when vineyard activities are most visible and the estate is actively engaged in winemaking.
The winery produces four distinct wine lines at different quality levels, allowing visitors to explore various expressions of the local terroir. This range provides an opportunity to taste how the pebble-based soil influences each wine differently.
