"Les Pagodes de Cos" Saint-Estephe 2019

Saint-Estèphe is one of the four main sub-regions of the Bordeaux appellation. This area is known in particular for the production of high-quality red wines, characterised by a particular personality and style. This is due to the beautiful soils, composed of a combination of gravel, sand, clay and limestone, which favour drainage and proper ripening of the grapes. But also because of the climate, influenced by the proximity to the ocean, which brings a moderate maritime influence and ensures the right alternation between warm and cool. 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, this is the blend proposed by Cos d'Estournel for this Saint-Estèphe, a wine characterised by a beautiful, almost impenetrable deep red colour, with a broad bouquet that ranges from ripe red fruit to mineral notes and spices, such as cloves. In the mouth, it is appropriately full-bodied but not excessive. Perfectly balanced in all its components, this Bordeaux red reveals a pleasant tannicity. Good already today, this wine certainly does not fear spending a few years in the cellar. Well stored, this bottle will give us great satisfaction for years to come. To be uncorked when the evening's menu includes an ample display of red meats. A wine with great personality, it is truly a pleasure to drink.
