Château de la Coste is the second wine of Château Paveil de Luze, one of the Médoc's oldest estates, Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel de Margaux. Coste refers to the hillside (croupe in Médoc parlance). This wine comes from a selection of 20% of Paveil de Luze's production from 30-year-old vines. It has the advantage of being pleasant in its youth, but is capable of ageing. This 2016 already offers fruitiness, velvety texture and fullness. A pretty promise already accessible and a great bargain for a Margaux!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the domain :

Following in the footsteps of five generations, Baron Frédéric de Luze took over the reins of the family estate in 2004. In 1992, with his partner Thierry Decre, he created the LD Vins trading house, renowned for its distribution of grands crus classés. His untimely death shook Bordeaux to its core. Since 2010, Stéphane Derenoncourt has worked as a consultant. The wines are always elegant, fine and delicate, in short, very Margalais. 2015 saw a return to the forefront for this lovely estate, and 2016 confirms it!
