31 Mar, 2023 – Dried tropical fruits like mangoes and green papaya, with lemons and green apples. Limes, too. Full-bodied yet tight and compacted with great length and persistence. Muscular yet fresh. 66% sauvignon blanc and 34% semillon. Drinkable but needs five or six years to soften.

The 2020 Cos d'Estournel Blanc features a higher proportion of Sémillon (34%) than the Pagodes, and it's richer and more textural, bursting with aromas of lemongrass, nectarine, peach and ginger, followed by a medium to full-bodied, layered and satiny palate.
92 Wine Spectator
Very solid, with a bracing fleur de sel edge around a core of white peach and lemon pith. The long, pure finish has excellent cut. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Drink now through 2026. 1,000 cases made, 150 cases imported.
