Collectors and wine lovers appreciate it as an affordable entry into the 1855 classification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOrigin \u0026amp; Classification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eChâteau 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe 1966 Vintage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e1966 is considered in Bordeaux to be a solid, classic vintage with medium to good aging potential.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Château Cos Labory 1966 still drinkable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eYes.
