Château de Saint Cosme Côtes-du-Rhône Deux Albion 2018 magnum

Deux Albion is pretty much the anti-thesis of the concept of "climat" or wine from 1 specific place. On the contrary, this one is a co-fermentation of different grape varieties and terroirs. An exceptional wine made of Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Mourvèdre and Clairette, which undergo integral fermentation for up to 6 weeks and then continue to age for at least 1 year in wooden and concrete cuves. The result is a dark wine with a layered bouquet and firm, full-bodied flavor. This wine far exceeds its appellation. Give it some bottle rest and enjoy it for at least 10 to 15 years!

Louis Barruol: "Récemment, nous avons dégusté au domaine quelques vieilles bouteilles de Deux Albion : 1999, 2008,2010, 2011 et d’autres encore. Ce sont toujours des dégustations étonnantes qui démontrent tout lepotentiel de garde des vins de la vallée du Rhone."

Wine Advocate (Joe Czerwinski): “A perennial overachiever, the 2016 Cotes du Rhone les Deux Albions continues that run. Garrigue notes accent blueberry fruit in this full-bodied, plush wine. Loaded with hints of cherries and stone fruit, it's a cornucopia of ripe fruit waiting to be slurped down, velvety and long on the finish.” 91/100
