Domaine Cousin-Leduc: Tasting & Drinking
Domaine Cousin-Leduc is a domaine with a very strong international following, particularly within ‘natural’ wine circles. This is I’m sure in part down to the nature of Olivier himself, his character large and warm; he seems to draw people towards him. And it must also be down in part to the brightly expressed and characterful aromas and flavours to be found within the wines. Having said that, those wines I have tasted most recently varied in quality from the fresh, confident and supple-fruited 2011 Le Cousin Rouge, to some rather more troubled wines, the samples on the day showing some reduction/mercaptan character which made it difficult to pass any worthwhile comment on them.
