Saint-Joseph Saint Cosme 2012 is a wine that beautifully combines power and elegance, bearing the unmistakable signature of Saint Cosme and the authentic expression of one of the region’s most distinctive terroirs. The 2012 vintage has evolved gracefully over time, softening just enough to make it the perfect companion for slow-cooked meat dishes during the colder months.
The Saint Cosme estate has been based in Gigondas since 1490 and is one of the Rhône Valley’s most historic family-owned wineries. Today, it is led by Louis Barruol, the family's 14th generation of winemakers, who continues a tradition founded on respect for terroir, organic viticulture and traditional winemaking practices. His vision is to reveal the uniqueness of each vineyard site, crafting wines with personality, precision and authenticity.
Saint-Joseph Saint Cosme 2012 comes from carefully selected vineyards in Saint-Joseph, where the vines are planted on granite soils that lend intensity, elegance and a distinctive minerality to the wine. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, while maturation in old and new foudres highlights the spicy character of the Serine variety, an ancient local clone of Syrah.
