Domaine de Saint Cosme direct from the property
FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE CUVÉE :
- Tasting: Juicy and fresh, with notes of plum and blackberry compote supported by flavors of violets, black licorice and wood spice. This wine has energy and grit all the way through to the end. Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Mourvèdre and Clairette. Drink now through 2025.
- Characteristics: Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre co-fermented. Whole grape harvest. Vatting time of six weeks. Slopes of clays (ancient alluvium), marls limestones, rolled pebbles. Bottled without filtration".
- The winemaker tells you about it : "Aged in wooden vats (truncated cone) and in concrete tanks. In its youth, Les Deux Albions expresses the fruit, smells of peony and violet, in a most friendly roundness. Then, the mineral takes over slowly, refining the whole, expressing the limestone. The wine then approaches a little our Gigondas, without ever reaching their finesse: to the impossible no one is held. All this raises the question of the wine's capacity to age in relation to its price. It is commonly accepted that "affordable" wines are not made to age and I wonder why!"
