2019 | Chateau de Saint Cosme | Cotes du Rhone Les Deux Albion

Juicy and fresh, with plum and blackberry compote notes backed by violet, dark licorice and wood spice accents.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Spicy notes of licorice, nutmeg and crushed granite accent rich streaks of blackberry preserve in this Syrah-dominant red blended with Grenache, Carignan, Mourvedre and Clairette. A juicy yet briskly balanced wine marked by a mineral lift, it’s an elevated Cotes-du-Rhone sourced from the prestigious village appellations of Plan de Dieu, Saint Maurice and Cairanne.

• James Suckling: Juicy and fresh, with plum and blackberry compote notes backed by violet, dark licorice and wood spice accents. This has gutsy energy through the finish. Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Mourvèdre and Clairette.

Producer Information

Château de Saint Cosme is a wine producer located just north of the village of Gigondas in the southern Rhône. The estate has been growing wine since the 15th Century, and its Grenache-based wines made under the Gigondas appellation are considered some of the region's best. The estate consists of three low-yielding vineyards totalling 15 hectares (37 acres) around Gigondas. Each of these – Le Poste, Le Claux and Hominus Fides – has a corresponding single-vineyard wine which forms the top tier of Château de Saint Cosme. These top wines are aged in a combination of first-, second- and third-fill barriques. In addition to this, there are two other wines made from these vineyards: a generic Gigondas wine, and Valbelle, which is made from older vines. The Le Poste vineyard also provides a Côtes du Rhône Blanc made from Clairette, which is fermented and aged in old oak barrels.
