Product Notes

St Cosme Saint-Joseph wine is a majestic creation hailing from the Rhône Valley in France. Its elegance exudes from every bottle, displaying tints of deep ruby. Rich, sumptuous notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, and violet form a robust bouquet, underlined with undertones of smoky minerals. The full-bodied palate beautifully integrates these complexities with mild tannins and exceptional freshness. The wine's lengthy, peppery finish is wonderfully persistent. Boasting balance and finesse, this creation by celebrated vintner, Louis Barruol, of Chateau de St Cosme, is a masterpiece of French wine crafting that pairs impeccably with robust dishes and cheeses.

Tasting Notes

This red wine has powerful flavours of black fruits and spice. Full-bodied, with blackberries and wild strawberries, accented by notes of peppercorns, tobacco, peonies, and violets.

About the Winery

St Cosme

Set amid the rolling hills of Gigondas, in the heart of the idyllic Rhône Valley, lies the picturesque St Cosme winery. Founded as far back as 1416, this iconic establishment has been owned by the illustrious Barruol family for over five centuries, making it an enduring emblem of French viticulture.

The renowned St Cosme vineyards occupy a sprawling 37 acres where the soil is predominantly clay and limestone, ideal for producing the region's trademark reds. St Cosme winery is renowned for its exemplary range of wines, most notably Gigondas red, Côte Rôtie, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Across the estate, ancient vines twist towards the Southern-French sun, while hidden away, a refurbished Roman spring provides an irreplaceable water source for the vineyard.

Traditional wine-making methods are meticulously observed, making each barrel a handcrafted testament to France's celebratory oenological history. There's an unmistakable passion in the winery's ethos - a poignant respect for nature that bleeds into every bottle..

This commitment to authenticity doesn't hinder innovation. St Cosme winery boasts a state-of-the-art fermenting room, following the principle that great wine is made in the vineyard, not simply in the cellar.

Additionally, the vineyard is open to the public for guided tours, promising a bevy of enchanting experiences, from soaking in the breathtaking panorama-sensitive serenity of the estate, to tasting sessions where one can sample their delectable wines, paired perfectly with exquisite local cheeses.

St Cosme winery melds tradition, innovation and a deep reverence for nature to create an unforgettable wine tasting experience. Iconic, historical yet refreshingly modern, it encapsulates the spirit of French winemaking at its most sublime while crafting exquisite, world-class wines. Whether you're a connoisseur or simply a curious tourist, this charmingly rustic destination delights the senses like no other.
