Domaine de Saint Cosme - Côte Rotie 2022
Located in the heart of the Gigondas appellation, Saint Cosme is a historic estate of a unique kind: its Gallo-Roman winemaking site consists of fermentation vats carved into the rock. Acquired by the Barruol family in 1490, the property has seen 15 generations of winegrowers. It includes 22 hectares of old vines with an average age of 60 years. In 1972, Henri Barruol was already convinced by the interest of organic viticulture . He practiced it to respect his vines, produce clean wines and protect the ecosystem of the Saint Cosme valley. Today, Louis Barruol , his son, manages the estate and created a "Négoce-Vigneron" in 1997.
Côte-Rôtie is made from Serine , an old Syrah. Vinification is carried out using whole bunches of grapes and aging lasts 12 months in barrels, 30% of which are new.
Grape variety: 100% Serine
