Saint Cosme les Deux Albion Blanc 2017 (750ML)

90 JS

“An array of ripe, sweet, peach, banana and melon character here. Sweetly perfumed and bright. Good weight on the palate with density and depth. Some pastry-like richness into the finish.” - James Suckling

“Even better than last year's version, the 2017 Les Deux Albions Blanc blends Marsanne and Viognier with 30% Picpoul, all from limestone soils near Orange (the appellation is IGP Principauté d'Orange). It's full-bodied and round in the mouth, with notes of struck flint and toasted marshmallow, turning dry and chalky on the finish. Drink it over the next year or so.” - Wine Advocate

“A winner from this estate, the 2017 Principauté d’Orange Les Deux Albion Blanc comes from mostly limestone soils and is a blend of Viognier, Marsanne, and Picpoul. Lovely notes of orange blossom, citrus, and honeysuckle all give way to a medium to full-bodied white that has both richness and freshness.” - Jeb Dunnuck
