Les Pagodes de Cos, Saint-Estèphe 2016

Les Pagodes de Cos 2016 is the second wine of the esteemed Château Cos d’Estournel, located in the Saint-Estèphe appellation of Bordeaux. Known for its powerful, structured wines, Saint-Estèphe sits on the Left Bank of Bordeaux, characterised by its gravelly soils, which provide excellent drainage and contribute to the wine’s complexity and minerality. The 2016 vintage was highly regarded, benefiting from ideal weather conditions that produced wines of exceptional balance and depth. Les Pagodes de Cos, often seen as a more approachable version of the grand vin, shares the elegance and refinement of Cos d’Estournel, but with softer tannins and a more immediate drinking window. On the nose, expect rich aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, intertwined with notes of tobacco, cedar, and a hint of spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied, offering a smooth texture with flavours of dark fruit, mocha, and a touch of graphite. The wine’s balanced acidity and polished tannins lead to a long, satisfying finish. This wine pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and hard cheeses, making it a versatile choice for both special occasions and refined everyday dining. ​
