Winemaker Notes

The wine shows intense blackberry and fig fruit with licorice, violets, and charcoal on the finish. It is remarkably fresh and finessed given the sun and warmth of the southern Rhône. The unique micro-climate combined with 60-year-old vines and traditional winemaking make Château de Saint Cosme Gigondas the benchmark wine of the appellation.

92 Wine Advocate

The 2023 Gigondas from Château de Saint-Cosme is especially promising, bursting with aromas of ripe black raspberries, red plums, garrigue, licorice and incense. Medium- to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, it’s rich without excess, with a layered core of fruit, powdery tannins and a bright, saline finish that lends a sense of energy and poise. As always, it’s a blend of multiple terroirs—limestone,

Ripe strawberry, raspberry and orange blossom leap from the glass of the delicious 2023 Gigondas. Immediately captivating and forward, this red Gigondas is a pure delight, delivering ripe red and black fruits with spicy tones across the full-bodied palate, neatly framed by polished tannins. It closes out with a dash of pomegranate.

“As to the 2022 Gigondas from barrel, these are all beautiful wines. The 2022 Gigondas has terrific ripeness as well as a sexy, velvety, medium to full-bodied style. Classic Gigondas spice, cedary herbs, pepper, and red and black fruit define the aromatics, and it's concentrated and balanced.”

About the Producer

Château 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 château. The property has been in the hands of Louis Barruol’s family since 1490. 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.
