Chateau de Saint Cosme Gigondas is made from 70% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 14% Syrah, 1% Cinsaut.
The wine shows intense blackberry and fig fruit with licorice, violets, and charcoal on the finish. It is remarkably fresh and finessed given the sun and warmth of the southern Rhône. The unique micro-climate combined with 60-year-old vines and traditional winemaking make Château de Saint Cosme Gigondas the benchmark wine of the appellation.
Review:
Leading off the Gigondas, the base 2020 Gigondas has lots of black raspberry, ground pepper, and violets notes as well as a round, supple, silky style on the palate. It should be approachable on release, yet it has plenty of mid-palate depth as well as tannins, and I have no doubt it will evolve for 20 years if properly stored.

Marie Baron Sancerre Blanc is made from 100 percent Sauvignon Blanc.
Sancerre is one of the most iconic white wine appellations in the world, located in the eastern Loire Valley on steep hillsides overlooking the Loire River. The appellation's Kimmeridgian marl, limestone, and flint soils produce Sauvignon Blanc of exceptional minerality and elegance.
This wine shows a bright, pale straw color with aromas of gooseberry, citrus, and white flowers, underscored by a characteristic chalky minerality. On the palate, it is vibrant and refreshing with crisp acidity, flavors of lime and green apple, and a clean, lingering finish.
Classic pairing with fresh goat cheese (especially Crottin de Chavignol), oysters, grilled fish, or asparagus.
