Château Cos d’Estournel St Estèphe Les Pagodes de Cos 2008
Clear spice, red peppers, black truffles, cassis bud, pomegranate, beautiful lift and freshness, giving a mouthwatering finish that is just extremely drinkable. 20% new oak for ageing. Harvest September 29 to October 13. Dominique Arangoït technical director, Eric Boissenot consultant. This was the first vintage in the new gravity-fed cellar, adding extra level of precision. Deep plum in colour, as is classic across the Cos wines, with low yields of 28hl/h (but as of this vintage the team really pulled back on green harvesting, pretty much stopping it entirely as of 2009 through to 2023). 20% new oak for ageing.
