The 2023 Les Pagodes de Cos has turned out beautifully, offering up aromas of cassis, orange zest, vine smoke and incense, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and polished palate with a deep core of fruit, supple tannins and a lively, mouthwatering finish. It's a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

Strongly aromatic on the nose, the Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot really making their mark despite comprising only 2% of the blend each. Vivid pink/purple in the glass, amazing vibrancy to the colour. Bright and buzzy, great energy, a little powdery with the tannins at the fore giving the structure but good length and balance and weight. Grippy, expansive and fresh, lots of life and cool crunchy blue and red fruit at the fore. Ends dry and powdery. Feels a little subdued and taken over by the structure right now but there’s clearly power on show.

The Estate

Château Cos d’Estournel, located in the Saint-Estèphe appellation, is one of the "Super Seconds" of the Médoc. Cos d’Estournel was established by a unique character, Louis Gaspard d’Estournel , nicknamed the "Maharajah of Saint-Estèphe" due to his affinity for the Orient and particularly for wines "returning from the Indies." Exceptional terroir, significant efforts, and substantial investments have propelled this estate to rapid success. Today, Cos d’Estournel stands among the greats of Bordeaux. Since 2000, it has been owned by Michel Reybier.

Bold, Complex Rasteau Expression

The 2020 vintage in the southern Rhône delivered warm and dry conditions, resulting in low yields of intensely concentrated, perfectly ripe fruit. At Domaine Gourt de Mautens, Jérôme Bressy’s rigorous biodynamic practices and focus on traditional Rhône varietals ensured a wine of great balance, terroir expression, and age-worthy structure. This vintage highlights the estate’s commitment to purity and the singularity of Rasteau’s terroir.
