About Château Cos Labory 1966

The Château Cos Labory 1966 is a 5ème Grand Cru Classé from the Saint-Estèphe appellation. The 1966 vintage is considered one of the solid, well-matured Bordeaux vintages of this decade. As a Saint-Estèphe red wine, it displays the château's more accessible, fruit-driven style. After sixty years of maturation, this wine has reached its drinking window. Collectors and wine lovers appreciate it as an affordable entry into the 1855 classification.

Origin & Classification

Château Cos Labory is located in the north of the Saint-Estèphe appellation, right next to the famous neighbour Château Cos d'Estournel. Since the 1855 classification, it has been one of the eighteen Cinquièmes Crus, the fifth growths of the Médoc, officially designated as a 5ème Grand Cru Classé. The soils consist of gravel and clay with limestone components. The blend traditionally relies on Cabernet Sauvignon, supplemented by Merlot and some Cabernet Franc. In 1966, the winery already belonged to the Audoy family, who had managed it since 1959 – their name still appears on the original label of this bottle. Here you can buy this Château Cos Labory.

The 1966 Vintage

1966 is considered in Bordeaux to be a solid, classic vintage with medium to good aging potential. A variable summer preceded it, a dry September saved the harvest. The harvest began in early October under good conditions. The Médoc was generally among the winners of this vintage. Cos Labory is known for a fruit-driven, rather early accessible style. This is exactly what made this vintage ready to drink early on. After sixty years, the Château Cos Labory 1966 is today primarily a rare, well-documented collector's item from this decade.

What you should consider when delivering wine

  • Consider storage location

    The plan is for you to receive your bottle of wine - Château Cos Labory 1966 - in person. This ensures that the Red wine is not unnecessarily exposed to the weather. If you have wine delivered to a parcel station, pay attention to cold or hot day and night temperatures. This is because a parcel station is usually not air-conditioned. Spending too long in such a parcel compartment can affect the wine bottle. If the wine delivery was left on your doorstep, a longer stay in hot, cold or wet conditions can also disadvantage the wine bottle.

  • Avoid condensation

    Especially in the winter months (below 10 ° Celsius), your wine delivery is exposed to cold temperatures during transport. We therefore recommend that you place your package unopened in a room with a room temperature of approx. 15 - 18 ° Celsius for approx. 24 hours after delivery. This way, the wine bottle acclimatizes gently. If you were to place the cold wine bottle in a warm room, condensation would occur on the glass body. This happens because the warm, humid room temperature hits the cold surface of your new Red wine bottle. The result would be that water droplets and moisture would affect the wine label. A wavy, partially slightly detached label could occur.
