Cote Rotie AC 2023 - Château Saint Cosme (Louis & Cherry Barruol)

About the wine

Château de Saint Cosme is the oldest winery in Gigondas. The Barruol family bought it in 1490 and Louis Barruol has been running it today for the 15th generation. The estate consists of 22 hectares of vineyards, which are on average 60 years old, which is an important basis for the quality of Saint Cosme. Organic farming has been cultivated on Saint Cosme since 1972, even though father Henry was still selling his Gigondas wines to retailers in barrels at the time. He was not interested in profit, but rather in maintaining and preserving the vineyards for the next generation. To date, no herbicides, artificial fertilizers, pesticides or synthetic products have been used.
