Cos d’Estournel, a vineyard in the Bordeaux region of France, will unveil COS100, a limited-edition single varietal vintage, this month.
COS100 was created in honor of the 100th anniversary of “Parcelle des Femmes,” a revered plot located within the heart of Cos d’Estournel vineyards that was planted by courageous women during World War I.
Derived from these one-hundred-year-old Merlot vines, COS100 is a rare and exceptional wine that will be exclusively available through private sales in just 10 Balthazars (12 liter) and 100 Double Magnums (3 liter).
Two of the Balthazars will be sold during live auctions in New York City and Hong Kong with proceeds benefitting Elephant Family, a non-profit organization that aims to save Indian elephants from extinction through field projects, conservation efforts and habitat rehabilitation.
