Returns Simplified.Chteau de Saint-Cosmes Saint-Joseph is sourced from granitic hillside vineyards near the communes of Malleval and Saint-Jean-de-Muzols, in the cooler, northern reaches of the appellation. These steep, terraced sitesrich in decomposed granitegive the wine its distinctive aromatic lift and mineral tension. 100% Syrah is vinified with whole clusters and native yeasts, followed by aging in used French oak barrels to preserve purity. The 2023 vintage offered a cooler, more balanced growing season, allowing for optimal ripening without excessive alcohol. On the nose, the wine offers smoke, black pepper, dark plum, and floral tones, while the palate delivers a compact, savory profile with an iron-tinged minerality. This is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with roasted game birds, grilled lamb, or lentils with wild mushrooms.
Chteau de Saint-Cosme, based in Gigondas, has been a cornerstone of Rhne winemaking since 1490, with 15 generations of the Barruol family overseeing its evolution. While its heart remains in the southern Rhne, under the guidance of Louis Barruol, the domaine has expanded northward to craft small-production wines from top appellations like Saint-Joseph, Cte-Rtie, and Crozes-Hermitage. These northern Rhne wines reflect Barruols deep respect for terroir, with organic farming, whole-cluster fermentation, and a commitment to minimal intervention in the cellar. The Saint-Joseph bottling exemplifies his belief that Syrah, when grown on granite and made with restraint, can rival Pinot Noir for elegance, perfume, and expression of place.
