The Story Behind the Wine

Château de Saint Cosme, established in 1490 and located in Gigondas, is the leading estate of the appellation. The property has been in the hands of the Barruol family since its inception. Louis Barruol took over from his father in 1992, making a dramatic shift to quality and converting to biodynamics in 2010. The Saint Cosme Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2021 is crafted from grapes sourced from three climats, the most famous being La Crau.
