Château de Côme - Saint-Estèphe - 2020

The Château de Côme 2020 is a great success. The nose reveals notes of dark berries, toasted spices, nuts and graphite. Medium- to full-bodied, with juicy tannins and a polished, silky texture. Lively, succulent fruit character. Luscious finish. Enjoy over 10 years.

Chateau de Côme covers just over 7 hectares, a human-sized vineyard nestled on the gravelly hilltops characteristic of Saint-Estèphe. This small size, rare for a Médoc cru, allows for a meticulous, artisanal approach, focused on quality rather than quantity. The estate enjoyed a renaissance in the early 2000s, when it was taken over and radically transformed by Maurice Velge, a wine enthusiast and fervent advocate of sustainable agriculture. His ambition was simple: to breathe new life into a discreet cru, by placing respect for the terroir and the purity of the wine at the heart of everything. After several years of effort and experimentation, Château de Côme became Saint-Estèphe's first organic wine, officially certified in 2018.
