- This fusion of Grenache and Pinot Noir delivers beguiling notes of strawberry compote, gingerbread, souk spices, and heirloom rose in a vibrant and complex blend.
Micro-Cosme Rouge carries the Vin de France designation due to its unique production method. The destemmed grapes were traditionally vinified with wild yeasts. The Pinot Noir was fermented in stainless steel to retain its purity, while a proportion of the
Grenache was vinified in concrete vats. Then, the wine was created in concrete tanks by blending in wines from multiple vintages using a solera system starting with the 1999 vintage. The concept of a solera is that it offers consistency, yet each year, it offers
intriguingly subtle differences. The result is a wine that is both vibrant and complex.

Winery | A blend of Grenache and Pinot Noir. The Pinot Noir grapes come from carefully selected vineyards in the Languedoc, while the Grenache come from the Roussillon and parcels in the Rhône. The Rhône Grenache grapes are fresh, rarely seen in other warm climate regions. It is not known exactly what imparts this freshness; this may be due to the influence of the Mistral wind or the cooling influence of the nearby Alps. The Grenache vines offer myriad expressions that add complexity to the wines. The Pinot Noir vines offer balance to the Grenache, when blended they complement each other beautifully offering finesse and power, softness and robustness and angular and rounded characters. It is a wonderful illustration of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts. |
