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

6 bottles from Domaine Coste-Ubesse, cuvée l’Aglandier 2015, in Pic Saint Loup. The Coste-Ubesse wine comes from two adjacent parcels of Syrah totaling barely 3 hectares and cultivated Bio. This estate, located in the commune of Saint-Mathieu-de-Tréviers in Hérault, sits on a slope of clay-limestone pebbly terroir on fissured marls facing north (Ubesse = Ubac, meaning north in Occitan). “My grandfather Eugène, strolling through his vines, taught me to observe the cicadas, as if mated to the bark of an arbutus, a cork oak, or a great Aleppo pine. The cades, the rockroses, the thyme, the scrubby plants of the Garrigue are here the companions of the vines. They sink their roots beyond the limestone pebbles into the soft clay of Coste-Ubesse, the north-facing slope. This orientation tempers the sun’s deadly ardor in summer; the ténement shelters the plants from sudden winter onslaughts. Everything here favors the tranquil growth to 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 couldn’t trace further back…). A sign of fate, they were at that time owners in Saint-Pargoire, the commune on which we (without my knowing it at the time) bought a few hectares of vines with Jean Luc to complete the Coste-Ubesse estate at Pic Saint Loup… “A 100% Syrah cuvée with bewitching aromas of licorice and vanilla, long on the palate, which aged two years in barrels before bottling.” Magnificent.
