In the heart of the appellation Gigondas, the château de Saint Cosme is an exceptional estate. The estate has been in the Barruol family since 1490 and there has been vignerons for 14 generations. The estate counts 15 hectares of old vines averaging 60 years old in this fantastic historical site. The terroir is geologically very diverse. Saint Cosme's Gigondas have the ability to be powerful and refined at the same time.

« When winery techniques have been perfected, when you have distinguished between tradition, which is often coherent, and a few new ideas, progress comes with detailed work on a terroir and a vineyard. The quality of the fruit and wines it produces becomes much more important than the progress brought by good practice in the winery. » Louis Barruol
