Want to try a white wine that is unique, unconventional, and downright delicious? Saint Cosme's Micro-Cosme Blanc is just the wine.
Created by legendary winemaker Louis Barruol of Chateau de Saint Cosme, this 50/50 blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier totally works, as the bright citrus notes of the Sauvignon Blanc marry perfectly with the richer stone fruit notes of the Viognier.
I really wish I would have beaten Monsieur Barruol to the punch on this one! It's a stroke of genius from one of the great wine minds of France. When blended, these two grapes with very different styles create a dry, crisp, and highly expressive white wine that shows luscious notes of lime, peach, apricot, and white flowers.
Even better, at just 12.5% ABV, this is about as gulpable as white wine gets. Grab a bottle, chill it down, and get some Thai food from our neighbors... go a little spicier than you usually do, as the luscious character of this wine will tame the heat.
Let me sum it up. One of France's top winemakers, a brilliant and novel blend, and less than $20. There's only one thing left to do... hit the order button!
