94-95 This is a really pretty second wine, showing a very contrastive palate of dried lemons and mangos with zingy acidity. Full-bodied and layered with a vivid finish. 3.15 ph, so lively, with 14% alcohol. 90% sauvignon blanc and 10% semillon. ... More details

The 2020 Les Pagodes de Cos Blanc is a gorgeous, expressive white. Apricot, flowers, lemon confit, white pepper and light tropical notes all meld together in an effortless, layered white that hits all the right notes. This is an incredibly classy second wine. In fact, the Pagodes Blanc is just as good or better than many top labels!

Thick citrus fruits - honey-edged lemon, lime, orange peel, grapefruit and pineapple on nose and palate. Full with lots of character and personality. High acidity does well to match the richer palate - keeping the energy and liveliness - with texture and grip. Nicely detailed with power and persistence.

The 2020 Pagodes De Cos Blanc is mostly Sauvignon Blanc yet includes 10% Semillon, and it shows how good the whites are today from this château. Vibrant gold-hued, with a great nose of white grapefruit, ripe citrus, flowers, and chalky minerality, it hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, high yet integrated, clean acidity, and a great finish.

A blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Sémillon, the 2020 Pagodes de Cos Blanc exhibits aromas of nectarine, gooseberries, white flowers and pastry cream, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate framed by tangy acids, concluding with a lemongrass-inflected finish. This is a strong effort in the genre.

Rated 91 - The 2020 Pagodes de Cos Blanc offers notes of fresh lemons, grapefruit oil, and yuzu which jump from the glass, with underlying suggestions of chalk dust and allspice. The medium-bodied palate delivers intense citrus flavors, with a racy backbone and a long chalky finish. - The Wine Independent

Very Sauvignon Blanc, this has a grassy character. Fresh citrus and bright acidity give total freshness to the wine. The lightness is delicious. Drink from 2024.

Varietal: White Bordeaux

The blended white wines of the Bordeaux region of France are famed worldwide for their complexity of flavor and superbly balanced characteristics. They are most commonly made from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Muscadelle grapes, although French law dictates that Sauvignon Gris, Merlot Blanc, Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Ondenc and Mauzac can all also be used in the production of these excellent wines. For centuries, the wineries of this region have been working and perfecting the skills necessarily to get the most flavor and positive characteristics of these grapes, and other wine producing countries in the world will no doubt continue to emulate these world leaders when it comes to selecting and blending said grape varietals.
