Cote Rotie is at the top of the pyramid of wines which come from the northern Rhone valley. It is a high quality wine made from Syrah grapes, sometimes a tiny bit of the white grape variety Viognier is added to give some floral notes to the wine. This wine is full of white pepper and red fruit flavours.
This wine has everything we like in a Cote Rotie: freshness, balance, with complex aromas of soot, bacon, violet, graphite, cold ash and ancient roses.
St Cosme is without doubt one of the very best producers in France, let alone the southern Rhone.
The winery dates back to 1490 and owns some of the oldest vines in the Southern Rhone. Winemaker Louis Barruol’s family have owned the estate for generations but it is only under his guidance that it has started to fulfil its potential.
Louis is an evangelist for the terroir of Gigondas and produces several single-vineyard wines to demonstrate its variety and quality. All the wines, from the humble Cote du Rhone to the incredible Gigondas Valbelle, are treated with the same care and attention, technical precision and artistry.
