Chateau de Saint Cosme 2018 IGP Blanc Deux Albion
Tasting Note
A stunning cuvée, new in 2017, produced from 40% viognier, 30% Marsanne and 30% Piquepoul (certainly an unusual but intriguing mix!). Louis’ answer to the markets increasing demand for interesting, good quality and good value Rhone white wines, and a certain passion project for Louis himself, vinified from grapes in his newly purchased Saint Martin Vineyards in Violes. The soils here have an incredibly concentration of limestone and that is reflected in the wine. Wonderful freshness, aromatic finesse and salinity. A meditatative nose that one could contemplate for hours with dried Apricot, marshmellow, heirloom rose and mint shining through and the palate is no less spectacular! Louis has said that he is expremely proud of this wine.
