Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This is the first vintage from Saint Cosme's plantings on the limestone soils of Saint Martin. Although only a stone’s throw from Gigondas, the soils have a much higher proportion of limestone than in Gigondas which makes them uniquely suited to growing white grapes. The results are compelling – you can sense the limestone and finesse that goes with it. There is a distinctive fabric and it is easy to see the huge potential. The wine is balanced, ethereal and the aroma is quite sophisticated. It displays a real backbone and salinity.

Flavors and aromas of flint, dried apricot, marshmallow and violet.

Blend: 50% Viognier, 50% Picpoul

Professional Ratings

90 Wine Spectator
Lively apricot, yellow apple and nectarine flavors stream through, framed by light toast notes on the juicy finish. Viognier, Marsanne, Clairette and Picpoul.

Chateau de Saint Cosme is the leading estate of Gigondas and produces the appellation’s benchmark wines. Wine has been produced on the site of Saint Cosme since Roman times, evident by the ancient Gallo-Roman vats carved into the limestone below the chateau. The property has been in the hands of Louis Barruol’s family since 1570. Henri and Claude Barruol took over in 1957 and gradually moved Saint Cosme away from the bulk wine business. Henri was one of the first in the region to work organically beginning in the 1970s. Louis Barruol took over from his father in 1992, making a dramatic shift to quality, adding a négociant arm to the business in 1997, and converting to biodynamics in 2010.
