Louis Barruol is the 14th generation Barruol to make wine at Saint Cosme. The Chateau was built in the late 16th Century on the site of a former Roman villa, and the remains of a Roman wine cellar, carved into the stone of the hillside, still exist in the chateau's caves. There are 37 acres of vineyards and the vines average 60 years of age. The old plots (pictured on the Gigondas label) and stitch across the escarpment of the ragged Dentelles de Montmirail, an oft-painted mountain range.

The 2011 vintage, the fruit year, suited Deux Albions really well by accentuating its own nature. This is the same spirit as the Crozes Hermitage: fruit and potential. Showing notes of gingerbread, strawberry, bacon and laurel, this is a wine of charm and complexity.

What I look for in this wine is a bright fruit followed by a well-structured mouth with a good texture. I am not necesarly searching for an ageing potential, but apparently, this bottle does age. The Syrah from the southern Rhone does not have the finesse of a good
northern Rhone syrah, but it has...

The 2011 had an impressive destiny: quite light at the beginning, it had some austerity which is usually the typical Cote-Rotie enemy. Then the elevage revealed a very good vintage, very intense and balanced. Finally 2011 looks like 2010: this is a real Cote Rotie with real aromas of Cote Rotie and...

rankly, the vinification of the Cotes du Rhone white 2011 has been a race. A race against
the heat at the end of august. A race against over-ripening, a difficult race to get the holy
grail: the freshness. In this difficult quest, the Picpoul saved us. We will never say enough
how wonderful is...

Flavors and aromas of jasmin, almond paste, tobacco, roasted bread, wild raspberry. The quality is everywhere in the serines of St Joseph: the beauty of the slopes, the quality of the granitic soils, the elegance of the wines, their ability to age. The outstanding character of the serine grape...

Mourvedre and Syrah played a crucial role in this 2011 vintage - they brought the roundness and the meatiness which make a real Gigondas. The quality of the fruit, the association between power, and freshness make this a great vintage. There are notes of gingerbread, strawberry, raspberry, and...

Two grape sources have composed this wine for many years now and one can't help but be impressed by the way they are consistant in quality whatever the vintage is. Vinsobres brings the freshness, the complexity, the strength and the balance. The villafranchiennes terraces from the Gard area (huge...

Very well balanced, it is a typical example of my Cote-Rotie grown on schistes. This is a vintage to follow carefully. Notes of chimney soot, bacon, violet, graphite, cold ash and ancient roses.

#2 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2012
Finally, 2010 is a kind of 2007 with more freshness. This freshness is THE fact of the vintage: it is everywhere, it gives the structure and the relief which generates the finesse. This is the guarantee of a good evolution as well. What I like in a good Gigondas...

Le Poste is a favourite wine at Saint Cosme. It is everything they like in wine - it is a wine of fruit and a wine to keep, a wine of complexity and an easy to understand one, a wine of structure and a wine of freshness. You'll find notes of Violet, almond, raspberry, and blackberry in this wine.

Hominis Fides always proposes a paradox: is it a masculine or a feminine wine? The debate is open. There is some depth with finesse, there is some power with fruit, there is some ripeness with freshness, it is secret but generous: being a paradox is the main characteristic of this soil. 2010...

Valbelle 2010 is just like the great Valbelle 1995, 1996, 2005, 2007.
It was wonderful to vinify Valbelle this year because all the characteristic aromas of Valbelle could be found by smelling the vat fermenting, from the stage they develop to the time they marry to get the homogeneity. The 2010...
