Notes from winemaker Louis Barruol: "Little James is at Saint Cosme the wine of freedom. Our Solera is getting more and more complexity year after year. When we add the current vintage, the solera gains a new element without changing the style.This wine recalls the ancient times when the wine merchants would make wines having only one target: simple pleasure. Blending vintages can be a great way to make nice wines, if it's well done. This cuvée shows how the grenache can be a "chameleon-grape" which has the ability to take many different forms. But it always keeps its sense of softness, fruit and texture. The 2013 bottlings will contain 50% of 2012, blended with the solera which contains all the vintages back to 1999. We were particularly careful with the Little James blends this year because we want that the spirit of grenache comes to you.
