Bordeaux 2019 Brochure

148. Pagodes de Cos Blanc, Bordeaux “The 2019 Les Pagodes de Cos Blanc is a lovely, open-knit white to drink now and over the next few years. Lemon confit, almond, dried flowers and herbs all meld together effortlessly. The 2019 offers an intriguing combination of textural depth and energy. Drinking Window: 2022 - 2029.” 92 pts, Vinous 389522 $150 149. Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux, Margaux “This is very linear and minerally with subtle mango and apple, as well as some pineapple and bitter lemon. It’s medium-to full- bodied with a creamy texture and great tension and energy. Heather and lavender undertones. Steely. Tangy finish. Subtle and fine. This is a joy to taste and drink now, but will age beautifully.” 97 pts, James Suckling 69958 $500 150. Château Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc, Pessac‑Léognan “One of my favorite whites from the region is the 2019 Château Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc, which is mostly Sauvignon Blanc blended with a splash of Sauvignon Gris and Semillon. Textbook notes of honeyed lemon, melon, caramelized grapefruit, and orange blossom give way to a medium to full-bodied, ripe, seamless white that brings solid richness as well as a lively, racy quality that keeps you coming back to the glass. Drink this beautiful white over the coming 15-20 years. Best After 2022.” 96 pts, Jeb Dunnuck 76188 $280
