Winemaker Notes: "Energy, freshness and aromatics are generated by the mountains close to the Minervois and our sélection massale of Viognier takes a huge benefit of this micro-climate. Little James has become very important at Saint Cosme. It allows me to propose an aromatic white full of joy for the summer. I play a lot of attention to this wine. Blending Viognier with Sauvignon Blanc is not common and maybe iconoclast? But these two grapes work so well together by doing the splits. From one side the freshness, the aromatics and the acidity; from the other side the ripeness, the meatiness and the depth. As for the CDR White, the search of balance is a key point of our work. In the south of France, it is necessary to think a lot to make a balanced white... The 2012 version looks like the 2010 which had been one of the best Little James white. Bottled in january 2013."
