Domaine de Saint Cosme 'Les Deux Albion' - White Blend - Principauté d'Orange

This 2021 white wine blend is a delightful concoction. It consists of 40% Viognier, 30% Picpoul, 20% Marsanne, 4% Clairette Blanche, 3% Ugni Blanc, and 3% other varieties. Hailing from IGP Principauté d'Orange in the Rhône region of France, it comes from a 10 - hectare area near Violès, just across the Ouvèze River from Gigondas. Aged on the lees in a mix of neutral barrels and stainless - steel tanks. Unlike many southern Rhone whites that can be oily and heavy, this Les Deux Albions Blanc is fresh and vibrant. It showcases the salty minerality typical of limestone terroir, with hints of dried apricots and white flowers.

To enjoy this wine, simply chill it in the fridge for a couple of hours. When serving, pour it into a white wine glass and take in the aroma of dried apricots and white flowers. Sip it slowly to savor the fresh and vibrant taste along with the salty minerality. Keep the remaining wine in the fridge and use a wine stopper to preserve it. It's best consumed within a few days after opening to maintain its flavor. Avoid exposing the wine to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures as it can affect the quality.
