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.

Daardoor vormt deze wijn een ideale partner voor rundvlees, stoofschotels en barbecue omdat het rijpe fruit de vleessmaken opvangt, de tannines vetten snijden en de minerale en kruidige tonen complexiteit toevoegen; gestoofd of langzaam gegaard vlees met rozemarijn of een rijke rodewijnjus, gegrilde entrecote met een licht gerookte rub of langzaam gegrilde lamsschouder werken bijzonder goed, net als gerechten met umami zoals truffelpasta of paddenstoelenragout die de diepte van de wijn versterken. |

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.

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.

From: Hot Body, Cold Blood: 2025 Bordeaux En Primeur (May 2026)
The 2025 Les Pagodes de Cos is fragrant and floral on the nose, with violet and iris petals, and light iodine aromas infusing the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied, with silky tannins on the entry, very harmonious, with blue fruit and black pepper towards the sensual finish. This will require three or four years in bottle but should mature well over 15 to 18 years.
- By Neal Martin on May 2026
“Dry and hot conditions arrived in early April,” winemaker Dominique Arangoïts told me, “which meant that vines could adapt to the situation and preserve water by making smaller leaves and berries. We had some rain in the quantity and at the time that we needed. The first was between April 19 and 21, when there was 115 mm of rain. Flowering took place in incredible conditions, while warm temperatures in June accelerated precocity. There was 25 mm of rain on July 21 at the beginning of véraison so we could avoid blockage. It was dry until the end of August, and there was rain between August 28 and 31. After that, we did not have hot temperatures. We commenced picking on September 3, the earliest since 1982. This vintage combines a dry year and ripe tannins with cooler-toned elements such as lower alcohol—the Cos d’Estournel is 13.25% with a pH around 3.68. We cropped at 29 hl/ha, the same as in 2024 but for different reasons.”

From: 2025 Bordeaux En Primeur: Le Freak (Apr 2026)
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.

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.
