Critic reviews
"The 2023 Les Pagodes de Cos wafts from the glass with aromas of mulberries, cassis, spices and rose petals, followed by a medium- to full-bodied palate that is round and enveloping, layered and perfumed, framed by velvety tannins and culminating in a long, fresh and fragrant finish. Ethereal and delicate, this blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot is a classic at this address, with the vintage placing a particular emphasis on freshness."
Yohan Castaing, April 2026, RobertParker.com
"The 2023 Les Pagodes de Cos is a step up from the G d'Estournel this year, with more expressive and slightly riper blackberry and blueberry scents laced with light violet aromas. The palate is medium-bodied, with fine but quite firm tannins that frame the pure black fruit laced with subtle briny notes. Fine length, quite strict and linear in style, I would afford this three to four years in bottle."
Neal Martin, February 2026, Vinous.com
"Bold and sumptuous, the 2023 Les Pagodes de Cos is a very sexy wine. Racy contours wrap around a core of dark red/purplish fruit, spice, new leather, mocha, pomegranate and cloves. This rich, heady Saint-Estèphe should start drinking well in another year or two. In 2023, Pagodes is quite the extrovert."
Antonio Galloni, March 2026, Vinous.com
"Spicy and complex. Aromas of spices, nutmeg, red currants and blackberries. Medium-bodied with round and polished tannins and a savory finish. The second wine of Cos d’Estournel. Needs two or three years to come around. Drink after 2027."
