About the wine

The Château de Saint Cosme is the oldest winery in Gigondas. The Barruol family bought it in 1490 and Louis Barruol is now running it for the 15th generation. The estate consists of 22 hectares of vineyards, which are on average 60 years old, which is an important basis for the quality of Saint Cosme. Since 1972, Saint Cosme has cultivated organic farming, even though Father Henry was still selling his Gigondas wines in barrels to retailers back then. For him, it was not about profit, but rather about maintaining and preserving the vineyards for the next generation. To date, no herbicides, artificial fertilisers, pesticides or synthetic products have been used.
