Domaine de Saint Cosme - Les Deux Albion - Blanc 2020
Located in the heart of the Gigondas appellation, Saint Cosme is an historic domain of a unique kind: its Gallo-Roman wine-making site is made up of fermentation vats cut from the rock. Acquired by the Barruol family in 1490, the property has seen 15 generations of winegrowers succeed one another. It includes 22 hectares of old vines with an average age of 60 years. In 1972, Henri Barruol was already convinced by organic viticulture. He practiced it to respect his vines, produce clean wines and protect the ecosystem of the Saint Cosme valley. Today, Louis Barruol, his son, manages the estate and created in 1997 a "Négoce-Vigneron".
Les Deux Albions is a blend of 40% Viognier, 20% Marsanne, 30% Picpoul, 4% Clairette, 3% Ugni Blanc and 3% Bourboulenc. Fermentation is 25% in demi-muids, 50% in small barrels and 25% in tanks with aging on the lees.
