Winemaker Notes
50% Grenache – 30% Mourvèdre – 10% Syrah – 10% Cinsault. Aged for 24 mths. in 2 to 4 years old barrels. Without a doubt, it's the best Chateauneuf ever made at Saint Cosme since 2001. These vines are managed organically; that gives it such purity. This bottle will evolve well because the 07 brings balance, which is important for a long-life wine. Truffle, Tapenade, garrigue, cherries, gingerbread.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape, which Barruol purchases from select vignerons, is dominated by Grenache, but it includes at least 30% Mourvedre and a small quantity of Cinsault. A dense purple color is accompanied by a ripe nose of red and black fruits, Christmas fruitcake, spice box, garrigue, and pepper. Rich and full-bodied with moderate tannin, good acidity, and a layered, intense mouthfeel, it will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring, and should age for 15+ years.

Chateau 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 chateau. The property has been in the hands of Louis Barruol’s family since 1570. 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. Louis Barruol took over from his father in 1992, making a dramatic shift to quality, adding a négociant arm to the business in 1997, and converting to biodynamics in 2010.
