Château de Saint Cosme

Château de Saint Cosme

Located in the heart of the Gigondas appellation, Saint Cosme is a historic estate of a unique kind. Its Gallo-Roman winery, with its fermentation tanks hewn into the rock, has successfully withstood the test of time unscathed. Acquired by the Barruol family in 1490, the property has been home to fifteen generations of wine growers. It boasts 25 hectares of old vines whose average age is 60, and yields are diminutive. The soils of Saint Cosme are a geological mosaic brought about by the upheaval of the Dentelles de Montmirail. They are located at the point where two geological faults meet, and the microclimate is cool and causes late ripening. Balance, freshness, and finesse characterize our wines.

Micro-Cosme Rouge Vin de France

Vintage 2022

RED
● 60% Grenache
● 40% Pinot Noi

Pinot noir are cousins and sometimes even brothers. Their list of common traits includes their softness, their red berry fruit aromas, their fine, supple tannins, their length, the charm of their femininity, and their extremely refined tertiary aromatics.

Micro-Cosme Blanc Vin de France

WHITE
● 50% Sauvignon
● 50% Viognier

Sauvignon Blanc brings acidity to the blend while Viognier provides fleshiness and texture. Blending the two varieties results in an aromatic and fresh-tasting wine with aromas and flavors of lemon, grapefruit, boxwood, elderflower, and mango.
