Chateau de Saint Cosme

Having produced wine, and been in the hands of the Barroul family, since the 15^th century, the modern history of Chateau de Saint Cosme doesn’t start until 1992, when Louis Barruol takes control and they start bottling their own wine.

The estate – today with 15 hectares of very old vineyards all surrounding the chateau – produces wines that have transformed the appellation. Saint Cosme makes four single vineyard wines in Gigondas – Valbelle, Le Claux, Hominis Fides and Le Poste - all reflecting different parts and soils on the estate and offering an extraordinary reflection on the complexity and beauty of the best of Gigondas. Valbelle and Hominis Fidis fruit is grown in sand and limestone soils whereas Le Claux is from centenarian vines in gravel and clay soil, and Le Poste from 50-year-old vines in limestone and marl soil.

Chateau de Saint-Cosme also runs a negociant business, making wine from other parts of the Rhone Valley, from purchased fruit. These are labelled “Saint Cosme” or “Domaine Saint-Cosme”.
