Pagodes De Cos 2ème Vin De Cos D'estournel Saint-Estèphe, 2013

Pagodes de Cos is the second wine of Château Cos d’Estournel, offering a refined Saint-Estèphe experience with much of the estate’s character at a more approachable level. The 2013 vintage reflects the elegance and structure of Bordeaux’s Left Bank, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a polished, classic claret from a renowned address.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in the glass, the wine typically shows fresh dark berry fruit, plum, cedar, and a touch of graphite and spice. With time in the glass, floral notes and subtle earthy nuances emerge, giving it a layered and inviting aromatic profile. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and well balanced, with firm but polished tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of blackcurrant, cherry, tobacco, and savory oak. The finish is persistent and composed, and while already approachable, it can continue to develop nicely over the next several years.

Production
Made in Saint-Estèphe on Bordeaux’s gravelly and clay-limestone soils, Pagodes de Cos benefits from a terroir that brings structure, freshness, and depth to the wine. The fruit is typically harvested with careful parcel selection, and vinification follows traditional Bordeaux methods with temperature-controlled fermentation and aging in French oak to preserve fruit purity while adding complexity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, duck breast, beef tenderloin, mushroom dishes, and aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C and consider decanting for about 30–60 minutes if opening young, as this can help soften the tannins and раскрыve the aromatics.

Producer
Pagodes de Cos is the second wine of Château Cos d’Estournel, one of Saint-Estèphe’s most celebrated estates and a classified growth in Bordeaux. Known for its distinctive architecture and reputation for producing powerful yet elegant wines, the property has long been a benchmark in the Médoc, and Pagodes de Cos reflects that same attention to detail and quality.
