Les Pagodes de Cos, the esteemed second wine of Château Cos d'Estournel, offers a captivating introduction to the renowned terroir and winemaking tradition of Saint-Estèphe. As the younger sibling to one of Bordeaux's most iconic estates, Les Pagodes de Cos embodies the same commitment to excellence and quality that defines its esteemed parent. With a heritage steeped in centuries of winemaking expertise, this wine presents a more approachable expression of Cos d'Estournel's prestigious terroir while retaining the elegance, complexity, and finesse for which the estate is celebrated.

Description

The 2016 Les Pagodes de Cos is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46.5% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot and a splash of Cabernet Franc, and matured in 30% new oak. It has an intense bouquet with aromas of blackcurrant, bilberry, graphite and a touch of sea salt (just a nod to the Gironde Estuary perhaps?).

The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannin, quite sleek in the mouth with plenty of black fruit tinged with graphite. It has a little more persistence compared to the 2015 Pagodes last year from barrel, very harmonious with a twist of bitter black cherry and tobacco on the finish. Drink Date 2020 – 2035.

About the Brand

Chateau Cos d`Estournel is named after its 19th century owner, Louis-Gaspard d'Estournel, and it was he who built the bizarre oriental edifice that is a landmark for any tourist in the Medoc. Today Cos d'Estournel is without doubt the leading estate in St-Estephe. It is located in the south of the appellation on the border with Pauillac and its vineyards are superbly sited on a south-facing gravel ridge with a high clay content, just north of Lafite.
Owner of Cos d’Estournel since 2000, entrepreneur Michel Reybier is a simple and discreet man. Moved by the extraordinary personality of the estate and the audacity of its founder, his decision to acquire was clear: it would be “Cos and only Cos.” Today he remains deeply attached to his vineyard. “At first glance, I was attracted by the history of the place. And then when I visited the estate, I felt instantly how unique, how exceptional it is.” Michel Reybier is an active presence throughout the year and a major actor in the estate’s development. In this he resembles his predecessor Louis Gaspard d’Estournel, with whom he also shares a profound passion for Cos d’Estournel.
