Description
Château de Saint Cosme Gigondas is a stunning representation of the Rhône Valley, crafted by revered winemaker Louis Barroul, known as the ‘Genius of Gigondas’. This estate features 15 hectares of very old vines, averaging 60 years in age, showcasing the extraordinary terroir. The vineyard benefits from a cool, late-ripening microclimate, producing wines that balance power and elegance. This exquisite Gigondas reveals a captivating depth and mellowness, enhanced by a saline freshness. On the palate, it offers delightful nuances of ripe strawberry, fragrant violet, and iodine, alongside a subtle hint of liquorice, leading to a long, memorable finish. Composed of 70% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 14% Syrah, and 1% Cinsault, it epitomizes the region’s character beautifully.
