CHATEAU DE SAINT COSME GIGONDAS LE POSTE
An impressive Gigondas, the single vineyard ‘Le Poste’ shows harmonious balance with good structure and refined tannins, with nuances of iodine, violet, pepper and ash.
Steeped in history, Château de Saint Cosme is nestled in the southern Rhône appellation of Gigondas and has been in the Barruol family for over 500 years. In 1992, fourteenth generation winemaker, Louis Barroul took over the reins of the estate from his father. Today, he is one of the most highly respected winemakers in the Rhône Valley and is often referred to by fellow winemakers of the region as the ‘Genius of Gigondas’. With great determination and flair, he showcases the great potential of the Gigondas terroir with his outstanding parcellaire cuvées from individual old-vine vineyard plots. The estate has great geological diversity, as it is exceptionally located at the crosspoint of two geological faults, which is very rare. Over the years, Louis has also established his own ‘negoce’ wines, developing close working relationships with growers throughout the Rhône Valley. Overseeing the vineyard management, harvest and vinification enables him to explore and master different terroirs, from which he consistently produces outstanding examples of each appellation.
