Château La Coste

La Coste is a legendary Provencal Chateau which hadn’t actually produced anything even slightly interesting for years.  It was purchased in 2002 by Paddy McKillen, owner of several of London’s top hotels, the Connaught among them. He asked  Matthieu Cosse, owner of Domaine Cosse-Maisonneuve in Cahors (see page 6), to join him in 2006.  

Matthieu has given the estate a complete rebirth by implementing biodynamics methods on the 123 hectares of vineyards. This is quite big for a biodynamic estate but Matthieu’s talent has made it possible. After four years, Matthieu’s first achievements at Château La Coste are impressive: perfectly balanced wines with working methods that fully respect the land. and the surrounding ecosystems. A vigilant eye is in place to maintain the fertility of the soil and to safeguard the health of the vines. With minimum intervention the wines find their natural expression.

In addition to that, a brand new chai, designed by Jean Nouvel, embraces the most up-to-date oenological technology, which makes it possible to optimize the wine-making process for the 3 people who work there.

Definitely, Château la Coste wines are the true expression of a magical place...
