Winemaker Notes
The Cotes du Rhone white will be less than 13% alcohol this year and we picked the grapes during the second half of September. This is ideal and unfortunately quite rare under our mediterranean climate. The 2013 is a full white wine with a mineral expression due to the great vintage. The aromas of mango, papaya and box tree are expressive but refined.

Offers creamed Jonagold apple, Cavaillon melon, glazed pear and white peach flavors, all framed by a suave toasted almond hint. Lovely fennel and macadamia nut accents line the finish. Drink now. 675 cases imported.

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.
