Winery Introduction

The Estalore Estate is recognized as the finest Stansted Manor. It is famous for its distinctive oriental architecture and “strong alcoholicity”.

Estel was founded in the early 19th century by a wine lover named Louis-Gaspard d'Estournel, located on a small rocky slope facing East, South and West. Cos is the meaning of a small stone in French. The owner Louis added Cos to his family name D'Estournel, which is the source of the name of the winery. Louis himself has quite a lot of contacts in the Middle East and Asia, so he decided to build a winery castle with ancient Chinese bell towers, Indian elephants, Sudan wood carving doors, stalactite stalagmites and Western architectural essences. Ashtrol’s first vintage was sold to India, and these wines were used as royal dining by Indian monarchs and nobles. The Queen Victoria, the Russian tsar, and many literati are unable to resist the charm of Esteli. According to legend, when Marx and the aristocrat Jenny Westphalen were married, a good friend, Engels, gave a box of Austral as a gift.

It is reported that Louis had planned to sell wine to the Middle East. However, because the area is full of Muslims and there is no drinking habit, after the wine shipped in the hot middle reaches of the Middle East has returned to the manor of the manor, it is actually The quality of wine has not changed! Since then, Estel has gained the reputation of "strong alcoholicity" and has spread to Bordeaux. In 1852, Louise had to sell the Astor Estate to a London banker named Martyns because of the huge debt accumulated in the expansion and decoration estates. In 1855, Ashturm Estate was named the second-tier village and ranked first in the St. Since then, the estate has been easy to change. Now Estel Estate belongs to Société Des Domaines Reybier.

 

Region Introduction

St.Estephe is the northernmost of the four major sub-regions of Haut-Medoc. Relatively speaking, its popularity is not as high as that of Mido's other three sub-regions (Puyle, Margaux, and St. Julian). The soil structure of this production area is complex and diverse. Except for the sporadic gravel land, most of it is clay, and some northwestern side is also mixed with some calcareous soil. The poor drainage of the clay, coupled with the location of the production area to the north, the climate is relatively cool, so the grapes here are slow to ripen, the red wine produced has a higher acidity and is the heaviest tannin in the whole Bordeaux region. The most vigorous and powerful wine. Red wines in the producing areas are sour and astringent, with a rough style, strong tannins, and even a clayy taste. After years of aging, the aroma and texture of the red wine will become supple and rich.

With 1200 hectares of vineyards, St.Duster ranks second in the 4 famous sub-regions of Mido, after Margaux, but the development of the wine industry is later than the other three sub-regions. As a result, in the 1855 winery rating, there were only 5 wineries in the area, and it was the lowest in the four sub-regions. However, in the development of the past decades, St.Darst has constantly emerged a number of excellent quality and very cost-effective wineries, such as Montrose Winery and Cos d'Estournel Wine. Zhuang et al. are the best of St.Dart.
