2015 Pagodes de Cos, St Estèphe, Bordeaux

Description

Really very generous fruit on the palate is accompanied by fine, ripe tannins and a very good finish. There is a lushness to the fruit here which I really enjoy. Nice weight, depth, but poised and clean. It’s sweet, soft, succulent, juicy, round and joyous. It's also very promising to see this second wine follow hard in the footsteps of its grand vin.

Critics reviews

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW 88/100
Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Les Pagodes de Cos has a rather fragrant nose of florals and earthy notions over a core of warm black fruits, red currants and cherry cordial plus a waft of sauted herbs. The medium-bodied mouth is finely crafted, refreshing and soft with well-played tannins.Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 17/02/2018

Very good crushed berry fruit and a much more elegant style than before. A polished wine with depth and spice, silky texture and exotic spices; very well made. Drink: 2020-2030 Steven Spurrier - decanter.com - April 2016

About this wine

Cos d'Estournel

Château 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 Médoc. Today Cos d'Estournel is without doubt the leading estate in St-Estéphe. 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.

Saint-Estèphe

Saint-Estèphe

Saint-Estèphe is the northernmost of the most important communes of the Médoc, bordering Pauillac on its southernmost border, with only a gully and stream separating it from Ch. Lafite Rothschild. The wines can appear austere in youth, but the best typically display good depth of colour, pronounced acidity and tannins in youth, and are exceptionally long-lived. At their best, they are the equal of almost any Bordeaux.
