2022 Les Pagodes de Cos Blanc

This château makes two brilliant whites. Starting with the 2022 Pagodes De Cos Blanc, which is 57% Sauvignon Blanc and 43% Sémillon, it offers a bright, juicy, almost racy style as well as notes of honeyed lime, lychee, and crushed stone. I love its purity as well as its balance, and this is another terrific white from the Médoc. (05/2023)

The 2022 Pagodes de Cos Blanc, 57% Sauvignon Blanc and 43% Semillon, shoots out of the glass with vibrant notes of lemon tart, fresh grapefruit, and Granny Smith apples, plus suggestions of paraffin wax, honeysuckle, and chalk. The medium-bodied palate delivers a fantastic line of bold acidity, lifting the intense citrus flavors to a long, chalk-laced finish. pH 3.35. (05/2023)
