Domaine Haut-Lirou - Les Costes - Rouge - 2020

With a garnet hue and purple tint, the pretty 2018 Costes is clear and perfectly limpid. The nose opens up with ripe fruit, questches, and pronounced cassis. Thanks to its maturation half in one or two wine barrels, half in vats, the 2018 Costes enjoys both incredible fruitiness, fuller maturation aromas and a nice touch of freshness. Indeed, if the French oak gives it this delicious and delicate fragrance of Madagascar vanilla, the latter knows how to be discreet and give way to a refreshing note of kirsch cherry, and more difficult to detect, pink berry. Full, fleshy, the nectar invades the taster's palate and offers him a pleasant sensation of fullness by its fleshiness and its balance. The wine is supple with an excellent holding in mouth. The ellagic tannins, still very present, call for 3 to 5 years of keeping. The 2018 Cuvée des Costes is definitely taking the opposite direction of the various trends animating the French barrel landscape, by proving that wood, when practiced with reason and delicacy, serves the wine rather than dessert... Speaking of dessert, count up to ten caudalies and then help yourself!

The word of the Winemaker, Jean-Pierre Rambier Rambier :

Once upon a time there was Grandpa Henri's mazet in a place called "Les Costes"... A mazet made of beautiful stones, nestled in the middle of the Pic Saint-Loup garrigue.
