Lastly, and a perfect wine, the 2019 Gigondas Le Poste comes from a tiny vineyard located just across the street from the domaine, and as with all these single vineyard releases, it’s 100% Grenache, not destemmed, and aged in mostly used Burgundy barrels. Louis compares the vintage to 1998, and I can’t disagree with him, as the wines are powerful yet structured. Incredible notes of cassis, currants, scorched earth, and wildflowers all show on the nose, and it’s full-bodied and perfectly balanced, with ultra-fine tannins, no hard edges, and an incredible finish. It’s as good as anything out there. Hats off to the genius of Louis Barruol, and readers should snag as much of this as they can. It will ideally be given 4-5 years of bottle age and will evolve for two decades. - Jeb Dunnuck

2019 Saint Cosme Gigondas Hominis Fides: 98 JD / 97 DE / 97 WE / 96 WS
Editor's Choice. Layers of crème de cassis and fig preserve are dusted with licorice, camphor and smoke in this powerful yet softly textured wine. A varietal Grenache sourced from old vines on limestone sand and fermented in whole clusters, it's a weighty, concentrated sip balanced by a spine of mineral freshness. A bit closed in youth, the wine will benefit from a few years of cellaring and should improve through 2035. - Anna Lee C Iijima, Wine Enthusiast

2019 Saint Cosme Gigondas Le Claux: 97 WS / 97 JD / 97 WE / 96 DE
This is packed together, with taut iron cables providing a platform for mouthwatering bitter plum, cassis and blackberry reduction flavors. Sage, bay tobacco and warm earth notes play equally important roles, adding superior range and depth. Everything pulls together through the finish, though the end point takes some time to reach. Best from 2025 through 2040. 250 cases made, 105 cases imported. — JM, Wine Spectator
