To be a winemaker is to seek and refine all his life the methods that best express the place of origin of his wine. Each place gives rise to a certain "technical path". Each decision of the winemaker is like a cross that can make him take the right road or the bad. And in this regard, the shortcuts do not exist: in general, when a wrong decision is made, it catches up with difficulty. So, to find the right path for each place is to look for the "resolution" of the terroir, like an enigma whose solution we would try to find. The "resolution" is simply to allow the terroir to express itself without hindrance. It is in this schema, and only in this one, that the wine finds its truth, its brilliance, its homogeneity, this intimate logic which is expressed throughout its life.

cotes du rhone the two albion castle saint cosme 2015 75cl

COTES DU RHONE THE TWO ALBION CHATEAU DE SAINT COSME 2020

Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre co-fermented. Whole harvest. Six weeks vatting. Clay slopes (old alluvium), calcareous marls, rolled pebbles. Aged in wooden vats (truncated) and in concrete vats.
When you're a winegrower, the most difficult thing is to do things as simply as possible, without seeming to touch anything. This approach requires good experience, a sense of anticipation and a thorough knowledge of your discipline. Les deux Albions is our “think tank” for the co-fermentation of southern grape varieties. Each year a small quantity of grapes is dedicated to experiments which, in general, bring us back to what my father did, who had already experimented a lot himself. When you're a young winemaker, you try to demonstrate your ability to make good wine and that's the normal course of things, but it's much more interesting to “guide” the grapes rather than impose yourself on them. That's what my dad did and I think he was right.

Elisabeth, Marie-Laurence, Louis and Annick Saladin are at the head of Domaine Saladin, a family estate passed down from father to son and from father to daughter since 1422.

“Loï”, the red Côtes du Rhône Saladin evokes the creator of this cuvée: Louis Saladin. In Provençal, Loï is the nickname of Louis. It is also a tribute to Saint Louis, "Looïs", opponent of Sultan Saladin during the crusades of the XNUMXth century.

Gigondas le claux chateau de saint cosme 2019 75 cl
GIGONDAS LE CLAUX CHATEAU OF SAINT COSME 2019

Very old Grenache planted at a place called “Le Claux”. Whole harvest. Limestone marls from the Miocene, in the Font des Papes alluvial cone. Aged for twelve months: 20% in new barrels - 50% in barrels of one wine - 30% in barrels of two wines. Le Claux is a living testimony to a fundamental part of French wine history: the phylloxera crisis. The vine was replanted in 1870 on a rootstock that has almost disappeared today: the "Gloire de Montpellier". It was one of the very first vines replanted in the Rhone. Producing wines again after such a tragedy must have been "glorious", no doubt... The masculinity of Claux wines is coupled with a complexity that has its sources in the genetic diversity of all these old vine plants. , all different. The depth in the wines of Claux is always amazing, even in the most difficult vintages. In a vintage like 2019, this depth is more like the Mariana Trench than a small pond formed by the storm of August 15. The magic of great vintages is a pleasure, a gift from heaven that all winegrowers of the world share the same way. Because the joy produced by good wine is a human pleasure that is lost in the mists of time. Only the road that goes up to the village of Gigondas separates Claux from Hominis Fides. However, the wines are so different: it is always a good way to understand the meaning of the system of localities imagined by the Cistercian monks in Burgundy. Indeed, before throwing away the ideas of those who preceded us, you have to think, try other ideas many times, then decide by trying to see far ahead. Wait for this bottle for at least 10 years: time is incompressible, at least when you stay on Earth. Creozote, camphor, truffle, blackberry. Bottling without filtration.

Gigondas hominis fides chateau de saint cosme 2017 75 cl
GIGONDAS HOMINIS FIDES CHATEAU OF SAINT COSME 2017 

Very old grenache planted on Miocene limestone sands at a place called "Hominis Fides". Whole harvest. Twelve month aging: 20% in new pieces - 50% in pieces of one wine - 30% in pieces of two and three wines.

The sands of Miocene are, in Gigondas as in the rest of the valley of the Rhone, a geological event posterior to the great uprising of the lace of Montmirail. When the Alps rise, they, like a sheet of paper that we tilt, "open" the Rhone Valley, allowing the sea to engulf itself like a snake finding its way. The sea then covers Lyon, circling the Alpine arc; the Luberon and the Ventoux are only islands, prehistoric fish frolic in the chapel of Saint Cosme and ammonites accumulate in phenomenal quantities. At this time, sands are deposited in our region: we find them in many sites in the Southern Rhone Valley: in the Uchaux massif, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas ... Much later, the small ants that we decide to grow vitis vinifera on these sands, and it turns out that the grenache finds there an amazing field of expression. The old Grenache vine in the Miocene sands is the aromatic finesse, the elegant texture, the depth in the mouth. When the wine ages, it takes notes of Morey Saint Denis pinot: peony and small red berries. What a great idea to have planted at the dawn of the twentieth century, 12 years before the Great War, this vineyard that is always with us.

Cote rotie saint cosme 2019 75 cl
Saint Cosme - Côte-Rôtie 2019

100% Serine (old syrah).

Whole harvest. Schists and Micaschists in places called Semons, But de Mont, Les Bercheries, Maison Rouge, Rozier, Cote Rozier, Besset and Bodin.
Aged for twelve months: 30% in new barrels – 70% in barrels of one wine.
What a vintage in Cote Rotie! It has been a long time since I had obtained such wines. When you taste all the barrels and everything is great, it's like visualizing the color palette that a painter will use. The different localities express themselves in such a precise and beautiful way that you wonder if you are not on the greatest terroir in the world. The mica schists are capable in 2019 of producing a finesse imbued with charm and mystery, the wines exude wild blackberry, pencil lead, smoked ham, iodine: pure magic. Then on the palate, the textured sweetness blends with the natural freshness of serine when it is grown in its northern limit. This 2019 is not to be missed under any circumstances as it evokes its glorious predecessors of 1991, 1999 and 2007. I set out to discover the Cote Rotie in 1997: after 24 vintages of practice in this wonderful terroir, I believe that the slightly warmer vintages (like 2019) are fine here. Moreover, it suffices to refer to the primary and literal meaning of “Cote-Rôtie” to be convinced of this.

Gigondas le Claux Château de Saint Cosme 2021 75 cl
Castle of Saint Cosme "The Claux" - Red Gigondas 2021
 

 Very old Grenache planted at the place called "Le Claux". Whole harvest. Calcareous Miocene marls, in the alluvial cone of the Font des Papes. Twelve-month aging: 20% in new pieces - 50% in pieces of one wine - 30% in pieces of two wines.
In old French, "Clos" was written "Claux". Just as the first name Côme was written Cosme until the XNUMXth century. You will have noticed that we like the old writing of the words, before the spelling remotivation due to time distorts them a little. A Claux, which has become "Clos" in most French vineyards, was originally written Claus, Clausas, Clausis, Clauzis and designated a closed place, closed, from the Latin Clausum for "closed". A vine can be "enclosed" by a wall, a river, the sea, a lake or a cliff. It is indeed a long cliff that closes our "Claux": this parcel therefore draws its etymological origin from the mists of time. The names of the localities always mean something if we take the trouble to search a bit. I have a particular affection for Claux, our oldest vine, which produces the most “Burgundy” wine of the estate, full of bouquet, finesse and freshness.

CÔTES DE PROVENCE RED 1610 CHATEAU GRAND BOISE 2019 75CL


Grapes: 
70% Syrah, 20% Grenache, and 10% Cabernet-Sauvignon

On a naturally favorable site, 77 plots of vines are scattered within a vast area of ​​500 hectares on the mountainside.
They form here and there small terraces facing the Sainte-Victoire mountain. The vine has been cultivated there for several centuries.
Patiently, in harmony with nature and the woods that surround him, man walks the paths to cultivate the vine where it gives him the best grapes.
The terroir is that of the new Sainte Victoire appellation, an ecosystem naturally favorable to vines since Roman times. Château Grand Boise is the highest estate there, with vines between 300 and 640 meters.

The combination of altitude with good sunshine makes it possible to obtain wines of great freshness and great balance. No chemical fertilizers or weedkillers are used. The known origins of

La Grand'Boise as a domain dates back to 1610, the date of the oldest property deed found. It was in 1879 that the three estates (Grand'Boise, Cabassude and Les Brunets) united to form one. Traditionally family owned, the estate only changed hands three times in its entire history. Under the impetus of its new owner, a passionate doctor, the estate has very recently been thoroughly renovated. It has equipped itself with efficient and qualitative technical means. The olive-growing activity is revived with 800 olive trees on 3 hectares.
