From one of Gigondas' top producers, it should be no surprise that the 2019 is flat-out terrific. The 2015 Saint Cosme Gigondas with the same press placed #5 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines for 2017.

   

Proprietor Louis Barruol continues a string of great vintages that offer superb value for top notch offerings. Gigondas, long in the shadow of Chateauneuf du Pape, shines brightly under the talents of Barruol who is able to elevate these wines to greatness.

Dark and winey, this structured offering packs red and black currant paste flavors together with threads of charcoal, warm stone, bay leaf and savory, ending with a long tug of cast iron through the finish. A blue chip for cellaring. Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cinsault. Drink now through 2035. 3,750 cases made, 930 cases imported. - JM, Wine Spectator

2018 Saint Cosme Gigondas Hominis Fides

97 WA / 97 JD / 97 WE / 95 WS / 94 DE

$99.00/bottle (In Stock) Buy Now

 

The 2018 Gigondas Hominis Fides is another huge success for the team at Saint Cosme, boasting complex aromas of roses, dusty earth, cigar box, asphalt and dark fruit. The plums and black cherries expand on the full-bodied palate, sweeping across in supple waves of flavor without ever becoming overbearing, buoyed by notes of cracked pepper and anise, then finishing in silky pools of lingering flavor. --Joe Czerwinski, The Wine Advocate

 

 

2018 Saint Cosme Gigondas Le Claux

97 WE / 96 WA / 95 JD / 95 WS / 95 DE

$95.00/bottle (In Stock) Buy Now

 

Le Claux is sourced from a Grenache-dominant field blend, with vines dating back to 1870. Vinified in whole clusters and matured in 20% new oak, it's a penetrating, finessed wine that juxtaposes rippling black cherry and boysenberry flavors against veins of crushed salt, licorice and smoke. Chalky tannins and a spray of violet perfume a long finish. It's stunning in youth but should improve through 2035. - Anna Lee C. Iijima, Wine Enthusiast

 

2016 Saint Cosme Gigondas Le Claux

99 JD / 97 WS / 96 DE / 96 VM / 96 JS / 95 WA

$118.89/bottle (In Stock) Buy Now

 

Starting off the single vineyard releases, the 2016 Gigondas Le Claux is legendary Gigondas in the making. Incredibly elegant and finesse-driven, it boasts a deep ruby/purple color to go with incredibly floral notes of camphor, dried earth, black currants, and spice. This Burgundian beauty boasts full-bodied richness, a deep, layered, heavenly mouthfeel, building tannins, and again, an incredible floral quality. I absolutely love it. - Jeb Dunnuck

 

2017 Saint Cosme Gigondas Le Poste

98 DE / 97+ JD / 96 WA / 96 WS / 95 WE / 95 JS

$89.99/bottle (In Stock) Buy Now

 

Aromatically very deep, with blackberry fruits emerging from the oak chrysalis along with lavender notes. So silky, juicy and fine. Massy, thick and chewy tannins. Dark, black fruit compote on the palate, but fully dry. Remarkable depth and darkness of fruit. Very long. - Matt Walls, Decanter
