CHÂTEAU de SAINT COSME GIGONDAS 2022

Château de Saint Cosme, a historic estate in the Rhône Valley, is celebrated for its commitment to terroir-driven wines.

Concentrated layers of dark fruits—blackcurrant, blueberry, and kirsch—dominate, interwoven with savoury notes of wild herbs, black pepper, and smoky nuances. A stony minerality underscores its terroir-driven personality. Saint Cosme Gigondas 2022—a bold, expressive Rhône classic that delivers depth, character, and timeless appeal.

Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"The wine shows intense blackberry and fig fruit with licorice, violets, and charcoal on the finish. It is remarkably fresh and finessed given the sun and warmth of the southern Rhône. The unique micro-climate combined with 60-year-old vines and traditional winemaking make Château de Saint Cosme Gigondas the benchmark wine of the appellation." 

94/100 Decanter (2022 Vintage)
"Menthol notes and complex herbal essences. Soft, easy-going, the oak helps to bring some welcome polish and sheen, with well-balanced acidity. This is a successfully constructed wine in a tricky vintage, showing good winemaking. All whole bunch, fermented with natural yeasts. Aged 20% in new casks, 50% in casks used for one to four wines, 30% concrete tanks."

94/100 JamesSuckling.com (2022 Vintage)
"Precise, textured and lively with aromas of wild berries, blackberries, dried thyme, bay leaves, baking spices and dried flowers on the nose. Full-bodied with fine tannins. Dense and chalky with a vivid core of sweet berries and spices mingling on the mid-palate and onto the peppery, powdery finish. From organically grown grapes with Ecocert certification. Try from 2025."

94/100 Wine Spectator (2022 Vintage)
"Expressive notes of pomegranate and raspberry show pretty lavender perfume alongside wafts of apple wood smoke and black pepper. Fine yet substantial tannins hold a firm grip, with graphite power building. Concentrated and firmly structured on a sleek, powerful frame. Tightly wound, this will be even better with a few years in the cellar. Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cinsault. Best from 2026 through 2037."

93/100 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2022 Vintage)
"The 2022 Gigondas from Château de Saint Cosme is showing particularly well today, evoking a fresh, complex and fruity bouquet of pepper, violet, crushed strawberries and menthol mingled with delicate notes of garrigue. Medium to full-bodied, delicate and textured, it's perfectly balanced with good depth at the core and a long, mineral and ethereal finish. It's a blend of 70% Grenache Noir, 15% Mourvèdre, 14% Syrah and 1% Cinsault that matured 20% in new barrels, 50% in used barrels and the rest in concrete tanks. This is a wine that could age gracefully over the next decade."

93/100 Jeb Dunnunk (2022 Vintage)
"Leading off the 2022s from bottle, the 2022 Gigondas has tons of chalky minerality as well as peppery, spicy garrigue-driven aromatics, medium to full-bodied richness, a layered, balanced mouthfeel, and classic Provençal red and black fruits. I’d be thrilled to drink a bottle today, and it’s going to see its 20th birthday in fine form."
