Some châteaux are built to make wine. Others are built to make a statement. Cos d’Estournel was built to make both — and then send them across the world on ships, to be transformed by salt air and ocean swell into something richer than when they left. This is the story of a hill of pebbles in Saint-Estèphe, a man who dreamed in pagodas, and a wine that has never, in two centuries, forgotten either of them. #CosDestournel #SaintEstephe #GrandCruClassé #BordeauxWine #FineWine​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
