Winemaker Notes
The wine has a lot of personality. The excellent levels of ripening reached here in 2014 are almost surreal, given the vintage. There is more power in the 2014 than in the 2013 and the shining fruit of the CDR is there. With a good sensation of relief, the taste of ripening in the mouth is balanced by the freshness and the round texture. As my the winemaker's father would say : "il fait la queue" ("it is long").

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.
