Pagodes De Cos 2ème Vin De Cos D'estournel Saint-Estèphe, 2023

Pagodes de Cos is the elegant second wine of the renowned Château Cos d'Estournel, offering a more approachable expression of Saint-Estèphe while still reflecting the estate’s distinctive character. Crafted from the same meticulous standards as the grand vin, it combines freshness, depth, and fine Bordeaux structure in a style that makes it especially appealing in its youth. As part of one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated properties, it carries the prestige and heritage of a legendary Left Bank estate.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2023 vintage is expected to show a deep ruby colour with youthful purple highlights. The nose typically opens with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry, layered with cedar, graphite, violets, and a subtle touch of spice from oak ageing. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with polished tannins, lively acidity, and a core of ripe dark fruit balanced by mineral tension and savoury notes. The finish should be fresh and persistent, with enough structure to reward short- to medium-term cellaring.

Production
Sourced from vineyards in Saint-Estèphe on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, Pagodes de Cos benefits from gravelly soils mixed with clay and limestone, which help deliver ripeness, freshness, and the firm frame typical of the appellation. Harvesting is carried out with great precision, and the fruit is vinified parcel by parcel to preserve the nuances of each block. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, with the exact proportion and duration selected to maintain the estate’s signature refinement and balance.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, grilled ribeye, duck breast, beef tenderloin, or mushroom-based dishes such as porcini risotto. It also works well with aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C and decant for around 30–60 minutes if drinking young, to allow the aromatics and structure to open fully.

Producer
Pagodes de Cos is produced by Château Cos d’Estournel, one of the most iconic estates in Saint-Estèphe and a name closely associated with excellence in Bordeaux. Founded in the early 19th century and long admired for its distinctive style and ambitious winemaking, the château has earned international recognition as one of the region’s benchmark producers. Its second wine offers a refined introduction to the estate’s pedigree and attention to detail.
