Château de Saint Cosme is a historic and renowned winery in the Gigondas appellation, near the village of Gigondas, in the Southern Rhône Valley of France. The estate is one of the oldest wineries in the region, with a long and storied history dating back to the 16th century, and more broadly speaking with wine being produced on the site of Saint Cosme since Roman times.
The winery's style combines the region’s typical ripeness with freshness, an elusive quality in the warm climate of the southern Rhône. One of the keys to freshness is the use of stems for their red wines. The stems absorb alcohol during fermentation and help retain acidity and tannin.
Expect aromas of red and black fruits like cherry, strawberry, and blackberry, often accompanied by hints of violet, lavender, or dried flowers. The wine also displays notes of pepper, licorice, and baking spices, with a subtle earthy or savory character. The palate is full-bodied with fine tannins and a long, persistent finish.
