Lionel Osmin & Cie 2008 Foehn White (Jurançon)
- Online Exclusive
- $24
Named after the dry wind that blows through the Jurançon vineyards, this light, poised sweet wine has typical freshness, the botrytis never cloying but immersed in currants, fresh apricots. The wine has a lively, buoyant, sweet character.

Mineral, firm wine, although at the same time it has plenty of black plum fruits surrounding the core of dark tannins. The resulting wine is one that manages to combine the structure of Cahors while bringing out a fruity character.

Lionel Osmin & Cie 2010 Villa la Réserve Malbec (Vin de France)
- Online Exclusive
Although this is labeled Vin de France, this is effectively a Cahors wine. It’s soft and rounded, with tannins that are already integrated already into blackberry jam flavors. Rich, with a hint of dried fruit, this is ready to drink in a year.

Bold fruit characterizes this firm, fruity Cahors. It has the dark tannins of Malbec, which are supported by the rich black-fruit flavor and touches of licorice, black cherry and black currant. Age this for another 2–3 years.

Lionel Osmin & Cie 2009 Mansois (Marcillac)

Firm wine, with tannins to match the chunky structure. Black currant fruits go with acidity, green pepper and spice. It’s a delicious wine from an almost unknown appellation in the central mountains of France.
