2015 Domaine Coste-Ubesse "L’Aglandier" - Languedoc - 6 Bottles (0.75L)

6 bottles of the Coste-Ubesse estate cuvée l’Aglandier 2015 in Pic Saint Loup. The wine from Coste-Ubesse comes from two neighboring Syrah plots totaling barely 3 hectares and cultivated biodynamically/biologically (Bio). This estate, located in the commune of Saint-Mathieu de Tréviers in Hérault, is a hillside with a clay-calcareous stony slope on fissured marls oriented to the north (Ubesse = Ubac, which means north in Occitan). “My grandfather Eugène, roaming his vineyards, taught me to observe the cicadas, as paired with the bark of a strawberry tree, anholm oak or a large Aleppo pine. The cades, rockroses, rosemary, and the arbrisseaux of the garrigue are here the companions of the vines. They push their roots beyond the limestone pebbles into the soft clay of Coste-Ubesse, the north-facing hillside. This orientation tempers the sun’s deadly ardor in summer, the estate shelters the plants from sudden winter onslaughts. Everything here favors the tranquil growth until the full ripeness of the grapes that make my wines.” “According to my research the Reboul family have been winemakers from father to son without interruption since 1700 (I could not go further…). A sign of fate, they were at the time owners in Saint Pargoire, the commune on which we have (without knowing it at the time) bought a few hectares of vines with Jean Luc to complete the Coste-Ubesse operation at Pic Saint Loup… “A cuvée 100% Syrah with enchanting notes of liquorice and vanilla, long on the palate, which aged two years in barrels before bottling.” Magnificent.
