Chateau Cos d'Estournel 'Les Pagodes de Cos' Bordeaux Blanc 2020 95pts

95 Points James Suckling
This is a really pretty second wine, showing a very contrastive palate of dried lemons and mangos with zingy acidity. Full-bodied and layered with a vivid finish. 90% sauvignon blanc and 10% semillon.

93 Points Decanter
A strong buy signal from me in this vintage, far less serious and intellectual than the main estate white, this is perky and delicious and easy to drink. Full of creamy apricot and white peach, accented by white flowers and citrus peel. Reminds me of Les Hauts de Smith in terms of striking the right balance between exuberance and grip, and being extremely moreish. 3.15pH. Harvest began August 31, through to 10 September.

91 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Cos d'Estournel's 2020 Pagodes de Cos Blanc is composed of 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Semillon, with an alcohol of 14.2% and a pH of 3.11. The harvest took place August 31–September 10 with a yield of 24 hectoliters per hectare. It is aging in French oak barrels, 8% new. It opens with compelling scents of green guava, yellow apple and pear tart, followed by hints of shaved almonds, nutmeg and white pepper with a hint of crushed rocks. The medium-bodied palate is clean and refreshing with bags of apple and pear-inspired flavors and a spicy kick to the finish.

90 Points Wine Spectator
Presents peach, green almond and yellow plum notes that give this a fun, off-beat profile, with a honeysuckle flourish on the finish. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.

Les Pagodes de Cos is the second wine of Château Cos d'Estournel. Made from younger vines or grapes that do not meet the strict criteria for the estate's flagship wine, Château Cos d'Estournel. However, it is still crafted with the same attention to detail and quality winemaking techniques as the estate's top wine. The aim of Les Pagodes de Cos is to offer a more approachable and affordable option for wine drinkers to enjoy the style and essence of Château Cos d'Estournel at a younger age.
