Description

1975 Château Cos Labory – A Rare Saint-Estèphe Classic
The 1975 Château Cos Labory is a remarkable piece of Bordeaux history from a vintage known for producing structured, long-lived wines. As a fifth-growth estate in the prestigious Saint-Estèphe appellation, Château Cos Labory is renowned for crafting age-worthy, Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wines with bold character and depth. The 1975 vintage, shaped by a hot summer and a late, tannic harvest, has evolved into a fascinating wine that offers a unique tasting experience for collectors and enthusiasts of mature Bordeaux.

Now approaching 50 years of aging, this wine has developed complex tertiary aromas of dried fruits, leather, cedar, and earthy tobacco, with softened tannins that showcase the vintage’s structured elegance. While many 1975 Bordeaux wines were initially firm and austere, those well-stored have matured into balanced, intriguing expressions of old-school Bordeaux winemaking. This is a rare opportunity to experience a Saint-Estèphe from a vintage built to last.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions
To fully enjoy this wine, decant gently to remove sediment and allow the delicate aromas to emerge. Serving at 16-18°C (60-65°F) will highlight its layered, mature character. Perfect pairings include slow-roasted lamb, braised beef, or mushroom-based dishes, which enhance the wine’s evolved flavors. Aged cheeses, such as Comté or a mature Cheddar, also complement its earthy and nutty notes beautifully.

A bottle of 1975 Château Cos Labory is not just a wine—it’s a piece of Bordeaux’s winemaking legacy. Whether for a special occasion, a collector’s cellar, or a unique tasting experience, this vintage offers a rare glimpse into the past, showcasing the enduring strength of Saint-Estèphe’s terroir. Secure this historic wine today and savor a true Bordeaux classic.
