Product Description
Details

Crafted by Les Cousins Marc & Adrià, two members of the distinguished Pérez Family, the wine Les Cousins Sagesse embodies the essence of world-famous Priorat.

This terroir-bound Spanish red wine is made from the two most representative grape varieties in the region, namely Grenache and Carignan.

The grapes come from old vineyards planted on steep slate slopes. They were harvested by hand, after which this red wine from Priorat was vinified in concrete diposits with native yeasts.

After that, the wine Les Cousins Sagesse 2021 was aged in the same diposits for 10-12 months. It thus had no contact with any oak or wood whatsoever before being bottled.

Once bottled, it was kept in the cellar for 2 years before hitting the market.

Decant this Crianza red wine a minimum of 40 minutes before drinking.

Appearance

The red wine Les Cousins Sagesse is deep ruby with some bluish tinges.

Nose

The nose of this blend of Grenache and Carignan is enticing and mysterious. Remembrances of black fruit, toast and mineral, alongside aromas of aromatic herbs, balsam, liquorice, spices, coffee, and even a hint of lavender and chinese ink.

Palate

Fresh and nimble, the palate of this red wine of Les Cousins Marc & Adrià shows a remarkable complexity and lively acidity. Mediterranean garrigue, undergrowth, black fruit, vanille, dark minerality, bitter chocolate and menthol. Long, wonderfully mineral finish.

Our personal opinion

A refreshingly unwooded Priorat, the wine Les Cousins Sagesse 2021 will entice the many lovers of this magical wine region.

If you've been to Priorat, drinking Sagesse will bring you back there almost immediately. The dryness, the aromatic roadside herbs, the unique soil... All that, and much more, is inside this wine.

Great Priorat
Value
It is not easy to find a winery that waits up to 6 years to release a product. Marc and Adrià have done that, and the results are worth the wait. This Priorat is mature, smooth, immensely pleasurable and characterful. You taste the fruit, you feel the wonderful slate soil and you enjoy the freshness. 5 stars!!
