The 2020 Goulée by Cos d'Estournel is a beautifully crafted Médoc from the owners of the legendary Château Cos d'Estournel. Sourced from vineyards near the Gironde estuary, the outstanding 2020 vintage combines the generosity of the growing season with the freshness and precision that define the estate's winemaking philosophy. The nose is expressive with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and ripe plum, complemented by cedar, graphite, violet and subtle baking spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with vibrant acidity and fine, polished tannins. Flavours of cassis, black cherry and dark berries are layered with notes of liquorice, cocoa and gentle French oak, leading to a long, smooth finish with a subtle mineral edge. While approachable in its youth, the wine possesses the balance and structure to reward further bottle ageing.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those seeking classic Left Bank Bordeaux with the pedigree of the Cos d'Estournel team at exceptional value. Pair with roast lamb, grilled ribeye, beef fillet, duck breast or aged hard cheeses. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar confidently for the next 8–12 years as it develops greater complexity.
