I talked many times about co-fermentation which has been for ever a very important
tradition at Saint Cosme. Les Deux Albion brings the proof that co-fermentation is magic
: Syrah fermented with Clairette always give a stunning result. While a white and a red
wine blended after the fermentation never give a harmonious wine : the way the elements
can be in disorder is quite bad in this case. So many things can be observed in winemaking,
and they still can’t be explained. This is the limit of science. This is what winemaking
has in common with the art of cooking. Deux Albion 2009 is a very classic Deux Albion :
full bodied and complex, with a great ability to age. It represents well the characteristics
of 2009 vintage.
Strawberry, gingerbread, bacon, earth.
