The joy and spontaneity of moments shared with loved ones.

An impromptu lunch with friends is the perfect occasion to open a bottle of Pagodes de Cos. It is reminiscent of the simple pleasures of life, like homemade blackcurrant syrup, a bowl of just-picked red cherries or a freshly opened jar of citrus jam. Pagodes de Cos is at once indulgent, comforting and vivacious, like a carefree conversation with family or friends in a familiar place.

The 2006’s dark, concentrated almost black colour gives it an aura of mystery. There is a lovely nose of pencil shavings, wet earth, forest floor, blackcurrant, and berries, as well as smoky, herbal notes. Smooth and fresh on the palate, this wine is quite delicious. 2006 once again proves that wines from great terroirs reward patience. With beautiful aromas of fresh tobacco, a trademark expression of great terroirs, it displays today a remarkable elegance.
