Les Pagodes de Cos 2019 is the second wine of Château Cos d’Estournel, produced from dedicated parcels in Saint-Estèphe and offering a more approachable expression of the estate’s distinctive style.

Cabernet Sauvignon leads the blend, bringing blackcurrant, blackberry and structure, while Merlot adds roundness and depth. Violet, bergamot, black tea, cedar and subtle spice develop around the dark fruit, giving the wine considerable aromatic complexity.

The palate is concentrated but polished, with velvety tannins, fresh acidity and a savory mineral character that becomes more apparent through the long finish. There is real Saint-Estèphe structure here, but without the austerity sometimes associated with the appellation.

The 2019 is already expressive with some air, yet it has enough balance and structure to continue developing beautifully in bottle.

Food Pairing: Pair with roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, braised short ribs, mushroom dishes, or aged cheeses.

Serve around 60–64°F. If drinking now, decant for approximately 45–60 minutes.
