The 2025 Les Pagodes de Cos Blanc contains more Sémillon due to the higher yield. It has a very refined bouquet, very pure and seductive, scents of white flowers, yellow plum and just a hint of chamomile. Oddly, it is a little Chardonnay-like! The palate is well balanced, with a crisp, edgy entry. I appreciate the acidity here, bright and lively, with a tang of lemongrass complementing the peachy fruit on the finish. Will be difficult to resist once in bottle.
