Pagodes de Cos 2015

A voluptuous and balanced second wine from Saint-Estèphe

The estate

Located in the north of the Médoc, on the hill of Saint-Estèphe, Château Cos d’Estournel appears majestically. Like a true Maharajah's palace, the château and its pagodas surprise and captivate the eye. In 1791, Louis-Gaspard d’Estournel inherited hectares of vines and established the estate. An adventurer and after traveling the world, his taste for exoticism and the Orient earned Château Cos d’Estournel this unique architecture in the Médoc. Owned by Michel Reybier since 2000, Château Cos d’Estournel continues to shine in the Saint-Estèphe appellation and joins the ranks of the world's greatest wines, distinguished by its unique style where the pursuit of beauty and excellence is a constant quest.
