The property has been in the hands of the Barruol family since 1490. Louis\u003cbr\u003eBarruol took over from his father in 1992 making a dramatic shift to quality and converting to\u003cbr\u003ebiodynamics in 2010.\u003cbr\u003eThe estate lies in the heart of Gigondas where 15 hectares of vineyard grow in the shade of the\u003cbr\u003eDentelles de Montmirail mountain. In addition to the estate-grown wines labeled “Château de\u003cbr\u003eSaint Cosme,” Louis Barruol buys grapes from contracted growers, labeling these “négociant”\u003cbr\u003ewines simply as “Saint Cosme.”\u003cbr\u003eSaint Cosme Crozes-Hermitage is produced from 100% Sérine, an ancient and local variety of\u003cbr\u003eSyrah that is markedly different from modern selections. It is more oval, with lots of space in\u003cbr\u003ethe bunch, resulting in a very aromatic wine. It is sourced from the hillside vineyards of Erôme,\u003cbr\u003eGervans, and Larnage in the northern part of the appellation. It is made from 100% destemmed\u003cbr\u003egrapes, fermented with indigenous yeasts, aged in 20% new 228-liter barrels, and bottled\u003cbr\u003ewithout fining or filtration.\u003cbr\u003eT A S T I N G N O T E S\u003cbr\u003eGranite slopes rather than flatlands give Saint Cosme’s Crozes-Hermitage greater structure and\u003cbr\u003ecomplexity. The wine shows classic aromas and flavors of black fruits, smoked bacon, black\u003cbr\u003epeppercorn, and incense.\u003cbr\u003eF O O D P A I R I N G\u003cbr\u003eSyrah, with its deep flavors and firm tannins, is a natural match for grilled or smoked meat and\u003cbr\u003edishes featuring herbs, roasted mushrooms, and onions. Seared venison or beef with black\u003cbr\u003epepper and thyme or a Moroccan tagine of pigeon or chicken are complimented by the spicy\u003cbr\u003echaracteristic of Syrah.\u003cbr\u003eV I N E Y A R D \u0026amp; P R O D U C T I O N I N F O\u003cbr\u003eW I N E M A K I N G \u0026amp; A G I N G\u003cbr\u003eA N A LY T I C A L D A TAP R O D U C E R P R O F I L E\u003cbr\u003eEstate owned by: Louis Barruol\u003cbr\u003eWinemaker: Louis Barruol\u003cbr\u003eTotal acreage under vine: 62\u003cbr\u003eEstate founded: 1490\u003cbr\u003eWinery production: 12,000 Bottles\u003cbr\u003eRegion: Rhone Valley\u003cbr\u003eCountry: France\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château de Saint Cosme","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43131672756448,"sku":"111773","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/chateau-de-saint-cosme-saint-cosme-crozes-hermitage_1.jpg?v=1663884017","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/chateau-de-saint-cosme-saint-cosme-crozes-hermitage-2020-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
