Château Cos d’Estournel Les Pagodes de Cos 2018 Saint-Estèphe AC, Frankrijk

Les Pagodes de Cos 2018 is de tweede wijn van Château Cos d’Estournel en daarmee een van de meest begeerde “insiders” binnen Saint Estèphe. Je krijgt de signatuur van een iconisch château, maar dan in een stijl die eerder op dronk komt en tegelijk verrassend veel diepte behoudt. Wat is Les Pagodes de Cos precies? Het is de tweede wijn van Cos d’Estournel, gemaakt met dezelfde aandacht voor detail en een blend die duidelijk op finesse en spanning is gebouwd. In jaargang 2018 laat dat zich voelen in een combinatie van rijp fruit, frisse energie en een zijdezachte structuur die deze wijn in zijn klasse uitzonderlijk aantrekkelijk maakt.

Wijngaarden en regio

De druiven komen uit Frankrijk, Bordeaux, op de linkeroever van de Gironde, binnen de appellatie Saint-Estèphe AC. De wijngaarden van Cos d’Estournel liggen op de “hill of Cos”, een klassieke grindrug die warmte vasthoudt en tegelijk voor drainage zorgt, een sleutel tot zowel rijpheid als spanning in de wijn. Château Cos d’Estournel is historisch een van de herkenbaarste namen van de Médoc, met een stijl die bekendstaat om kracht met precisie, nooit log of zwaar. Les Pagodes de Cos wordt gemaakt als een eigen interpretatie van hetzelfde terroir, met een profiel dat sneller benaderbaar is, maar wel duidelijk de allure en gelaagdheid van het huis laat zien.

Vinificatie en rijping

De wijn wordt gemaakt met nadruk op aromatische zuiverheid en gecontroleerde extractie, zodat de structuur verfijnd blijft en het fruit helder naar voren komt. De gisting vindt plaats in temperatuurgecontroleerde tanks, waarna de wijn wordt opgevoed in eikenhouten vaten. Het hout is hier bewust ondersteunend ingezet, zodat de wijn extra lengte en textuur krijgt zonder dat het karakter richting “houtgedreven” schuift. In 2018 levert dat een stijl op met opvallend soepel mondgevoel, veel spanning en een elegante, lange lijn.

Druivensamenstelling

Cabernet Sauvignon – Saint-Estèphe
De basis van de assemblage, 54%, en verantwoordelijk voor structuur, frisheid en bewaarpotentieel.

Merlot – Saint-Estèphe
37% Merlot geeft rondheid en sappigheid, waardoor de wijn in zijn jeugd al open en uitnodigend overkomt.

Cabernet Franc – Saint-Estèphe
6% Cabernet Franc voegt kruidigheid en aromatische lift toe, wat de wijn extra spanning geeft.

Petit Verdot – Saint-Estèphe
3% Petit Verdot zorgt voor extra kleur, grip en een subtiele, donkere diepte in de blend.

Proefnotities en serveertips

De kleur is diep robijnrood met paarse nuances. In de neus komen eucalyptus en specerijen samen met sappige rode en zwarte bessen. In de mond is de wijn vol maar opvallend verfijnd, met zijdezachte tannines en een frisse ruggengraat die het rijpe fruit strak houdt. De afdronk is lang en precies, met een ingetogen, stijlvolle houttoon die vooral lengte en textuur geeft. Serveer rond 16–18 °C. Aan tafel werkt dit sterk bij rund, lam, eend en klassieke gerechten met paddenstoelen of een kruidige jus.

Great base to add patches to
I've bought this jacket twice now (lost the first one...). Great base for my DIY patch jackets. I buy an XL even though it's a size too large for me. It's a standard denim jacket, not much to write home about. Good pocket size, and I appreciate the functional chest pockets.

Great Wallet
I'm pretty particular when it comes to things that I need to carry at all times when I'm out. When looking for a new wallet back in 2014, I initially went with the oft recommended Saddleback Leather Medium Bifold. Initially, that wallet seemed to be both durable and well made. Unfortunately, after several months in the back pocket, two things became clear: first, the leather was so taught that it was breaking my credit cards in half at the pinch point of the credit card slot. Second, what I took for durability in the thickness of the leather quickly turned into nuisance as I ended up with an inch thick brick that ruined my seating comfort. I called Saddleback regarding the first point and they told me that it was a known issue and if I didn't like it I could send the wallet back, which I did. That left me at a crossroads with a new requirement: I wanted a leather wallet that was thin enough to not be uncomfortable, held 6 credit/id cards and a handful of bills. I searched around until I came across Bellroy. The travel wallet seemed to check all the boxes and added some features I never knew I needed. After 6 years of use, I finally decided that the original travel wallet I bought in 2014 had run its useful life, down to holes in the leather and all. I liked it so much, I bought another one. There are some subtle differences which I will highlight below. 1. Fits in Your Pocket This is ostensibly the best feature of the wallet. It is large in the two dimensions you shouldn't care about and thin where it counts. I have not found a pair of pants that I would wear that it doesn't fit in. With my passport, 6 credit/id cards, and a dozen bills it is roughly 3/4 inches thick. Fabulous. 2. The Right Pen I had no idea how useful the pen would be. I find occasion to pull it out at least once a week. I used to carry the wonderful Fisher Space Pen, but no longer do as this fills the role in a much for optimized way. Bellroy is kind enough to include an ink refill with every wallet and I still have the refill from 2014. That's not to delegitimize the previous point; the kind of things I write are forms and other short memos. I wouldn't use the pen to write a novel. The new wallet looks to have a pen that Bellroy have either white labelled or made themselves. I haven't yet written with it, but if it is at least as good as the Walkie it replaced, things should be fine. 3. Added Security The new wallet takes the split billfold and adds a flap that conveniently hides away the back section from prying eyes. In theory this seems like a useful feature. In practice, the flap is not quite long enough to allow for more than one or two bills without the cavity being visible when the wallet is opened. The new wallet also has RFID shielding which I don't recall being a feature of the old wallet. It sounds like a useful feature now that at least one of my credit cards has a contactless payment feature. 4. Leather It's a thin wallet so you should expect the leather to be thin as well. I got 6 years out of the first wallet and I'm not a guy who is easy on wallets. It has been in my pocket on rooftops doing solar installations, in machine shops, and on every kind of seat imaginable. My old wallet has been fully submerged in water more than once. With all that punishment, it outlasted the warranty by two times. None of the stitching has failed and the only real damage is two small holes in the outer leatherwork. If you are a business traveler, this should go out of style before it is rendered unusable from wear. In short, this is a great wallet for everyday use. I approve to the extent that I didn't look for a new choice when my old one wore out.

Very handy
Color: Sienna
I purchased it because I still use paper boarding passes. With luggage claim paper, your passport and ID card, things could get quite messy if you try to put everything in your bag or backpack’s compartment. This one organizes all those nicely. Because of its size it accommodates multiple boarding passes and luggage claim papers easily. (They used to get crumpled in international flights, and It annoyed me.). Yet it is compact enough to carry in your pocket. One negative is its price. It is expensive. But it is a quality product. Nice leather and well made. If you are willing to spend some $, this will spare you from searching your boarding pass and passport frantically at boarding. Highly recommend.

Excellent product, great for travel
Color: Cocoa
I just got back from a business trip and this is by far the most useful passport holder/wallet I've ever used. Lots of room for cards, bills, boarding passes, and a second passport and still folds very flat. Leather is good quality, and is very well put together. Since its too big for my pocket and will mostly live in my briefcase, I expect it to last a very long time. The only drawback is the high price, especially since the leather is probably not full grain (it's not advertised as full grain, so we can assume it's not). But it fits my needs perfectly, even if it is a little overpriced.

Highly recommend.
Color: Cocoa
My favorite purchase for a recent trip across three continents. Fits in pocket (I mean it’s a tight fit, but it will fit). Perfect in cargo pant pocket. Has two separate compartments for paper bills which is nice - you can keep your home currency in one and travel currency in the other. Really sleek looking. Bought four of these and we all loved ours. Highly recommend.
