Château Cos d'Estournel, Saint Estèphe Les Pagodes de Cos 2023 White

Les Pagodes de Cos Blanc 2023 is a refined and distinctive white wine from Château Cos d’Estournel, one of Saint-Estèphe’s most recognisable estates. Produced in very limited quantities, it offers a rare white-wine expression of this celebrated Médoc château, combining Bordeaux character with freshness, precision and elegant oak influence.

Tasting Notes
Bright and pale golden in appearance, the wine opens with expressive aromas of citrus zest, white peach and fresh pear, complemented by floral nuances and subtle notes of vanilla and toasted spice. On the palate, it is vibrant and finely textured, with refreshing acidity, ripe orchard-fruit flavours and a gently creamy mid-palate. A mineral finish brings balance and length, while careful cellaring should allow the wine to develop further complexity over the next several years.

Production
The vineyards of Cos d’Estournel benefit from the gravel-rich soils characteristic of the Médoc, which encourage excellent drainage and help retain warmth, while the nearby Gironde estuary moderates the climate. The grapes are carefully selected and harvested to preserve freshness and aromatic precision, before gentle pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation. Maturation in oak, typically with time on the fine lees, adds texture and complexity without overshadowing the wine’s natural brightness.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled at approximately 10–12°C. Its combination of freshness, texture and subtle oak makes it an excellent partner for grilled or roasted fish, shellfish, lobster, poultry with a light cream sauce and delicate vegetable dishes. Decanting is not essential when young, although a short period of aeration in a decanter can help reveal additional aromatic detail.

Producer
Founded in the early 19th century, Château Cos d’Estournel is one of Saint-Estèphe’s most iconic estates, famed for its grand château architecture inspired by the owner’s travels in Asia and its distinctive pagoda-style roofs. The property is renowned for producing powerful yet refined Médoc wines and has long held a prominent place among Bordeaux’s leading estates. Its white wines are particularly sought after for their rarity, precision and ability to combine Bordeaux freshness with considerable ageing potential.
