In the heart of the appellation Gigondas, the Château de Saint Cosme is an exceptional estate, with its Gallo-Roman fermentation vats perfectly preserved. The property has been in the Barruol family since 1490 and they have been vignerons for 14 generations.

The Saint Cosme's Chapel, located in the heart of their vineyard is a pure example of roman art. It was built at the XI and XII centuries. Purity, balance and beauty: the Chapel is a witness of the medieval times and it gives an intense and special atmosphere to their vineyard.  Everyone should take five minutes to climb the little hill and visit it.

At Saint Cosme they make wines which express their terroir with purity and personality, and to make balanced wines with a great ability to age.

Barruol's 2020 Cote Rotie blends fruit from both ends of the appellation to create an exciting blend of violets and blueberries on the nose. It's medium to full-bodied, but richly concentrated and silky, with a lingering, elegant finish. Terrific stuff.. Joe Czerwinski – The Wine Advocate

I loved the 2020 Côte Rôtie, which is certainly the standout from the North. Coming from both the southern and northern ends of the appellation, it’s full-bodied, ripe, and textured, yet never loses a sense of Côte Rôtie elegance. Lots of bacon fat, exotic flowers (I wrote liquid violet in my notes), and gamey blue fruits define the nose, and the balance is spot on, it has silky tannins and is just another brilliant wine.—Jeb Dunnuck
