Šis „Cotes du Rhone Saint Cosme“ daromas iš Vinsobres ir Villafranchian vynuogynuose auginamų ‘Syrah‘. Dirvožemis susideda iš kalkakmenio, raudonojo molio ir žvirgždo uolienų. Šis tamsiai violetinės spalvos vynas džiugina intensyviu slyvų, juodųjų vyšnių ir uogų aromatu, kurį subtiliai papildo pipirų, grafito bei šokolado, natos. Burnoje jaučiamas vidutinio svarumo kūnas, subalansuota rūgštis ir švelnūs taninai, kurie atsiskleidžia per sultingų juodųjų vaisių, grilyje keptos mėsos, pipirų ir saldymedžio natas.
Tiekti 16-18 °C prie keptos žvėrienos, troškintos mėsos patiekalų ar kietų brandintų sūrių.
Château de Saint Cosme is one of the oldest and most respected wineries in the southern Rhône Valley, located in the Gigondas appellation. The estate’s history dates back to the 16th century, and today it is run by Louis Barruol, representing the 14th generation of the family dedicated to preserving and developing this exceptional domaine.
The winery is renowned for its organic and biodynamic viticulture and for its highly precise work in the cellar. The vineyards grow on limestone, clay, and sandy soils, which give the wines structure, mineral tension, and remarkable ageing potential.
The estate’s flagship grape variety is ‘Grenache’, alongside ‘Syrah’, ‘Mourvèdre’, and ‘Cinsault’. Grapes are harvested by hand, fermentation is carried out with native yeasts, and ageing often takes place in old oak barrels or concrete vats to preserve the purity of the terroir and the authenticity of the wine.
Château de Saint Cosme wines are known for:
expressive yet balanced fruit character
elegant structure
pronounced minerality
excellent ageing potential
The estate is widely regarded as a benchmark of Gigondas, respected both in France and internationally as one of the most authentic expressions of the Southern Rhône.
