In the heart of the appellation Gigondas, the Château de Saint Cosme is an exceptional estate, with its Gallo-Roman fermentation vats perfectly preserved. This fantastic historical site gives a good idea of how their ancestors, the Gallo-Romans, were living. The property has been in our family since 1490 and we have been vignerons for 14 generations. They have 15 hectares of old vines (average 60 years old) with a yield of around 27Hos/Ha. The terroir is homogeneous but it’s geologically very diverse as the Dentelles de Montmirail makes it very complicated. Saint Cosme is exceptionally located at the crossing of two geological faults, which is very rare. This gives them an extraordinary diversity of soils. The microclimate is cool and late ripening. Their Gigondas can be powerful and refined at the same time. The Saint Cosme’s Chapel, located in the heart of our vineyard is a pure example of Roman art. It was built in the XI and XII century. Purity, balance and beauty: the chapel is a witness of the medieval times and it gives an intense and special atmosphere to their vineyard.
