Description

Saint Cosme Cotes du Rhone Magnum

An exceptional Cotes du Rhone imbued with charm and finesse with notes of blackcurrant, truffle, liquorice and wild raspberry through to a long, satisfying finish

Steeped in history, Chateau de Saint Cosme is nestled in the southern Rhone 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 Rhone Valley and is affectionately 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.
