Pagodes de Cos 2016 is a second wine of Chateau Cos d`Estournel, sourced from dedicated parcels of the estate’s Saint-Estephe vineyards. The 2016 vintage is a blend dominated by Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, grown on cooler clay and limestone soils that impart a remarkable freshness and fruit purity. Winemaking involves gravity-flow processing and 12 months of maturation in French oak, with a restrained 30% new wood to maintain its spontaneous and silky character. It offers a fragrant bouquet of blackberries and redcurrants, framed by fine-grained tannins and a vibrant mineral tension.

The 2016 Les Pagodes de Cos has a wonderful bouquet of vibrant, expressive red berry fruit, strawberry and raspberry, conveying a tangible sense of mineralité and tension; the new oak is very well integrated here. The balanced palate offers fine-boned tannins and very well judged acidity. Utterly harmonious, with a caressing and beautifully poised finish. This is a top-class Saint-Estèphe that will age with panache. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting. Neal Martin1st August 2020
