Lionel Gosseaume Climat No. 2
Climat N°2 is a white wine resulting from a strict parcel selection and the harmonious blend of three grape varieties: Sauvignon Blanc, Menu-Pineau and Meslier-Saint-François (a rare grape variety that has almost disappeared). Meslier-Saint-François, an ancient local grape variety, has seen its territory occupied by the rising star, Sauvignon.
At first glance, the deep golden color expresses the wine's maturity. The nose of this wine is rich and maturing is pleasantly characterized by notes of acacia honey, apples and gingerbread. The mouth is straight, with great aromatic complexity, a long, round finish impregnated with a very elegant honey, showing the potential of Meslier Saint François.
This wine must be tasted at least once to understand that sometimes old grape varieties, if they do not produce large volumes, can still produce great wines. So there is still much to discover.

Lionel Gosseaume
Lionel Gosseaume comes from a family of winegrowers. His parental domain is a stone's throw from Lionel's home, but Lionel first chose a life far away from winegrowing. Nevertheless, at the age of 37, he returned to his homeland and in 2007 took over the vineyards of Jean-Claude Maurice of Domaine de Pierre, who had cultivated them wisely from the 1960s.
This domain is called Lionel Gosseaume since 2007, it now covers more than 15 hectares, of which Sauvignon Blanc makes up 75% and Gamay about 15%. The most special varieties at Gosseaume are Menu Pineau and especially the Meslier-Saint-François. The latter is an old local variety (a natural cross between Gouais Blanc and Chenin Blanc) that is almost extinct and of which Lionel is one of the few producers in the world. He has 0.3 hectares and the yield, which he keeps low because of the strong acidity of Meslier-Saint-François, he assembles with Sauvignon Blanc to create the very original and delicious Vin de France called Climat Nº2.
