2019 Les Pagodes de Cos Blanc - Zweitwein von Cos d'Estournel - Bordeaux Blanc AC

Decanter.com – 92 pts – JA: *Immediately appealing and enticing with both presence and impact, but also personality and fun, in the Hauts de Smith spirit. Mix of apricot and nectarine with citrus lime and salinity on the finish. Great stuff, easy to recommend.* - 05/2020

Falstaff Magazin – 92 pts – PM: *Helles Gelbgrün, Silberreflexe. Grasiges Sauvignonbukett, ein Hauch von Grapefruit. Leichtfüssig, zarte Süße, etwas Karamell und Verveine, Mango und Ananas, zitronig-salzig, ein richtiger Fruchtcocktail, ein facettenreicher Speisenwein.* - 03/2022

JancisRobinson.com – 16/20pts – JH: *First vintage of this wine now that they have more mature white-wine vines. 93% Sauvignon Blanc, 7% Sémillon. Barrel sample. Typically Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc nose – herbal, ripe citrus and nicely stony. Creamy lees richness balances the crisp grassy acidity. Not particularly intense but fresh. Just a touch of spice on the finish.* - 04/2019

Vinous.com – (90-92) pts – AG: *The 2019 Les Pagodes de Cos Blanc is a soft, supple, easygoing wine. Lemon confit, white flowers and mint lend brightness to a white very much driven by Sauvignon Blanc. I would prefer to drink this brisk, fresh white over the next few years. The 2019 is very nicely done.* - 06/2020

Thewinecellarinsider.com – 91 pts – JL: *Spicy lemon, lime, green apple and floral notes continue from the nose to the palate. The wine is fresh, zesty and creamy, with a touch of sweetness in the yellow citrus in the endnote. Drink from 2022-2027.* - 03/2022
