James Suckling
Green mango and papaya as well as limes on the nose follow through to a full body with lovely density and hints of phenolics that give it tension. Then there’s bright acidity at the end. Super second wine. Grapefruit.

This château makes two brilliant whites. Starting with the 2022 Pagodes De Cos Blanc, which is 57% Sauvignon Blanc and 43% Sémillon, it offers a bright, juicy, almost racy style as well as notes of honeyed lime, lychee, and crushed stone. I love its purity as well as its balance, and this is another terrific white from the Médoc.
Barrel Sample: 92-94 -
Decanter
Sharp, precise and thrilling, a lovely shot of juicy lemon and pineapple - a hint of tropical fruit - before the mineral and salty white stone fruit - peach, pear and apple come in giving a tang and bite to the palate. Decisive and well defined with purity and tension. Good succulence too, stylish with mouthwatering acidity and a clean overall taste.

Chateau Cos d'Estournel is a Grand Cru vineyard located in St. Estephe. Its oriental facade is adorned with three pagoda turrets, all cast in a soft golden sandstone. Chateau Cos d'Estournel today covers 170 acres separated from Chateau Lafite, along the southern edge, by the stream between St. Estephe and Pauillac. The gravelly soil, over a flint, limestone and silicate subsoil low in nitrogen, has eroded over centuries to form steep ridges which perfectly drain the vineyards. The vineyards are planted 60 percent in Cabernet Sauvignon vines, 2 percent of Cabernet Franc, and 38 percent in Merlot. Naturally, the percentage of Cabernet or Merlot in the composition of each vintage depends on the climate which favors one grape variety or the other.
