Description
The story behind Pagodes de Cos and Château Cos d'Estournel
Pagodes de Cos is the second wine from Château Cos d'Estournel, a wine estate in Saint-Estèphe that dates back to 1791. Founder Louis-Gaspard d'Estournel was a pioneer with a passion for the East, reflected in the château's iconic pagodas and Zanzibar Gate. Since 2000, the estate has been led by Michel Reybier, who combines heritage with technological innovation and terroir expression. Pagodes de Cos Rouge is a refined expression of the exceptional terroir of Cos d'Estournel.
Location and terroir of Cos d'Estournel
The Cos d'Estournel vineyards are situated on the edge of the plateau near the Gironde estuary, in the northern Médoc. Thanks to the maritime climate, natural ventilation, and protection from extreme weather, the grapes benefit from optimal ripening conditions. The rolling landscape of deep gravel and clay soils offers a diverse terroir that is managed plot by plot for maximum quality.
Grapes and composition of Pagodes de Cos Rouge 2024
The 2024 vintage is composed of 50% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot. This blend comes from carefully selected plots specifically dedicated to the production of Pagodes de Cos. Thanks to the vineyard team's in-depth knowledge, these plots are meticulously managed, resulting in a wine that offers a unique interpretation of the Cos d'Estournel style.
Tasting notes and style of Pagodes de Cos Rouge 2024
The 2024 Pagodes de Cos Rouge is a balanced and elegant wine with a vibrant aromatic profile. Ripe raspberry, red fruit, and eucalyptus emerge on the nose. On the palate, the wine displays subtle tension, refined suppleness, and aromatic intensity. This vintage guarantees enjoyment in its youth, but also offers ample aging potential.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Pagodes de Cos, the 2024 edition is being bottled in a specially designed, engraved bottle. This unique edition underscores the prestige and rich history of this cuvée and makes it an attractive collector's item for Bordeaux wine enthusiasts.

The 2024 Les Pagodes de Cos wafts from the glass with aromas of dark berries, licorice and nicely integrated oak. Medium to full-bodied, polished and suave, it's impressively rich and layered for the vintage, with beautifully integrated tannins and acidity.

From: Event Horizon: Bordeaux 2024 Primeur (May 2025)
The 2024 Les Pagodes de Cos matured in around 12% new oak. It has quite a rich bouquet for the vintage with black cherry, hints of cassis and black olive, the latter only emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied and a little spicier than expected, with chalky tannins and a compact finish. This will need two or three years in bottle.

Dominique Arangoïts has been at the helm of Cos d’Estournel since 2000, overseeing a change in approach and some of the greatest vintages in recent years. The rather bombastic wines of the noughties have been replaced by more refined and precise wines that culminated in the exceptional 2016. I made two visits to the estate at the beginning and end of my trip, and, as with Montrose, the second assessment was superior to the first.
“We started the season with a lot of rain—a record since the 2000 vintage,” Arangoïts explains. “This rain, combined with the cold, continued until the beginning of July. We had to fight against the mildew and coulure disturbed flowering for both Cabernet and Merlot, plus millerandage appeared in the old Merlot vines. Consequently, bunches were less compact, which improved sanitary conditions. The weather became dry from July 13 to August 29. We had 47 days with only 11 mm of rain and the vines had sufficient stress to ripen the tannins. Then, there was a rainy period until September 12, 53 mm, which meant we could avoid any blockage. We waited until we could achieve the correct ripeness levels and started picking the old Merlot on September 23. In 2024, we found that our gravel soils tended to produce more precocious fruit that was important in the final blend. We finished with around 30 hl/ha [a lower figure], which tided us over through the late ripening. The low level of nitrogen in the must, a result of the cold early season and more grass grown between vines than usual, ultimately proved helpful in avoiding botrytis. We had to chaptalize some of the Cabernets but we did not do any saignée because of the old vines.”

From: 2024 Bordeaux En Primeur: The Razor’s Edge (Apr 2025)
The 2024 Les Pagodes de Cos is terrific. Medium in body and vibrant, the 2024 is impeccable. Blackberry, spice, leather, menthol and chocolate open gradually. A wine of balance and harmony, the 2024 is super-elegant. I find the less bombastic style here vis-à-vis the past quite interesting.

Château Cos d'Estournel is a winery in the Saint-Estèphe appellation in the Bordeaux region of France. It is also the name of the red wine produced by this property. The wine produced here was classified as one of fifteen Deuxièmes Crus (Second Growths) in the original Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855.
Château Cos d'Estournel produces the eponymous grand vin, the second wine since the 1994 vintage, Les Pagodes de Cos from the estate's younger vines, as well as Château Marbuzet from fruit from nearby plots. The property is adjacent to Château Lafite-Rothschild in the neighboring commune of Pauillac. The name Cos refers to a "mound of pebbles" in the Gascon dialect and the name Cos d'Estournel was given in 1810 by Louis-Gaspard d'Estournel.
The estate has changed hands several times throughout its history, beginning in 1852 when it was purchased by English banker Charles Cecil Martyns. In 1869 it was sold to the Spanish Errazu family, only to be sold again 20 years later, in 1889, to the Hostein family from Bordeaux. Through his marriage to Marie-Thérèse Hostein, Louis-Victor Charmolue, who also owned Château Montrose, acquired control of Cos d'Estournel in 1894. In 1917 it was sold to Fernand Ginestet. The chateau has remained in the Ginestet family ever since, becoming part of Domaines Prats in 1970, the combined property of the Ginestet and Prats families, and controlled by Bruno Prats.
In June 2008, it was announced that Michel Reybier, the current owner of Cos d'Estournel, has purchased Napa winery Chateau Montelena. However, in November 2008, this agreement was canceled, the termination of the transaction by Chateau Montelena allegedly due to the fact that Reybier Investments had "been unable to meet its obligations". From an estate of 100 hectares, the vineyard area extends over 70 hectares (170 acres), divided into 30 parcels, mainly composed of the grape varieties 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, with a small cultivation of Cabernet Franc and Petit verdot that seems participate too little in modern production. Annual production is typically 32,000 cases.
