2025 Les Pagodes de Cos Pre-Arrival Offer

Chateau Cos d’Estournel have made great strides in the recent past, and their new winemaking facility is one of the most impressive and purpose driven in the area. All movement of wine from the moment grapes arrive is done via gravity, a process involving a style of wine elevator to raise and lower tanks, and one that removes the use of pumps entirely. While the wines from this Second Growth property have been patchy throughout their history, it’s no secret that they have been on fire over the last 15 years, producing rich, concentrated, and potentially very long lived wines warranting perfect scores for numerous wine critics.

The 2025 Les Pagodes de Cos is shaping up beautifully, wafting from the glass with notes of blackberries, cassis and licorice framed by a touch of toasty oak. Medium- to full-bodied, fleshy and supple, with good mid-palate density, sweet tannins and a lively core of fruit, it's a blend of 62% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.

William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2025 Les Pagodes de Cos is a huge, somber wine. Blackberry, gravel, licorice, chocolate, incense and cloves hit the palate with serious intensity. Ample and quite dense, the 2025 is super concentrated from start to finish. It's going to need a few years to shed some of its considerable baby fat. This is a gorgeous Pagodes. Drink 2028-2040.

Antonio Galloni - Vinous

A juicy and velvety second wine of Cos, with spices and hazelnuts that highlight the dark fruit in this wine. It’s medium- to full-bodied with juicy fruit and a flavorful finish. Shows structure, but is integrated and polished. 55% cabernet sauvignon, 34% merlot and 11% cabernet franc.

James Suckling

A blend of 62% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot, and 1% Cabernet Franc that's being raised in 20% new barrels, the 2025 Pagodes De Cos is the second wine of this terrific château and is a gorgeous effort that's the equivalent of many a Grand Vin. Ripe currants, cassis, spring flowers, graphite, and smoky oak all define the nose, and on the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with a layered, rounded mouthfeel, beautiful balance, and nicely integrated acidity. It checks in at a pH of 3.62 and will shine in its youth yet also age gracefully.

Supple and plump, softly chewy and bright with crisp tannins, cooling acidity, ripe fleshy fruit but more blueberry than blackcurrant with a lick of crushed stones on the finish. Really well constructed, not showy at all, but feels confident. A serious wine but with a soft side. A very good Pagodes. Lots to like here. I love the texture and length. 1% Cabernet Franc completes the blend. Drink 2030-2040.
