St. Cosme Gigondas

Jeb Dunnuck: 2016 Chateau de Saint Cosme Gigondas 90-92 Looking first at the base 2016 Gigondas it’s certainly going to be another outstanding wine from Barruol. Based on 70% Grenache and the rest close to an even split of Syrah and Mourvedre it offers classic St Cosme notes of dark fruits tapenade pepper and smoked earth. It has plenty of tannin and will need 2-3 years of cellaring and shine for a decade or more// Jancis Robinson UK Ch de St-Cosme 2016 Gigondas 16.5+ 60% Grenache 20% Syrah 18% Mourvedre 2% Cinsault. Cask sample. Slightly reductive and rubbery light fruit and tight tannin. Seems misshapen right now but there’s clearly an elegance and freshness on the palate. Should be much better once bottled. – Chateau de Saint-Cosme
