Goulée er frembragt af det ikoniske 2. Cru-slot Cos d' Estournel fra den nordlige og mere vindudsatte del af Medoc-halvøen. 

Ikke alene er Cos d' Estournel i sig selv et bemærkelsesværdigt bygningsværk, men "Cos" (som slottet også kaldes) laver i høj grad også bemærkelsesværdige vine, som år efter år topanmeldes af de internationale vinanmeldere. Siden Michel Reybier købte slottet i år 2000 er Cos d'Estournel år efter år faktisk blevet anmeldt på samme niveau som 1. Cru-vinene. Et kvalitetsløft, som selvfølgelig smitter af på slottets lavere rangerede vine.

93 point | James Suckling:
Deep, dark and rich fruit, from plums to berries. Full bodied, layered, dense and very rich. Best after 2022.

90 point | Decanter:
This is an excellent Goulée with the cooling edge of a beautiful fresh Médoc coupled with generosity. Easily one of the best Goulées that I have tasted. Flint and smoke aromatics on the nose are followed by welcoming red fruits through the body of the wine. 77% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, picked over a long harvest period from 28th September to 15th October. This is the first year the new plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon have been included in the blend. 3.65pH.

Bottled in April 2016, the 2016 Goulée by Cos d’Estournel has a vivid, fresh, lively bouquet of black fruit infused with bell pepper. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin and plenty of tarry black fruit laced with tobacco. I appreciate the freshness and classicism of this Goulée, which is more cohesive and shows a little more substance than previous vintages. Very fine.
