History of Ch\u00e2teau de St Cosme :<\/h2>\n

The chapel of\u00a0Saint Cosme,<\/span> located in the heart of the vineyards, is a nugget of Romanesque art.<\/span>\u00a0It was built\u00a0in the 11th and 12th centuries<\/span>\u00a0and brings out the simplicity of the lines, the sobriety and balance of the volumes.<\/span>\u00a0It brings a positive vibe to the vineyard and reflects a peaceful atmosphere.<\/span>\u00a0In 1972, Henri\u00a0Barruol<\/span>\u00a0was convinced of the value of organic viticulture.<\/span>\u00a0According to him, this method allowed us to respect the balance of the vines, produce the best vines, and defend the ecosystem of the Vallon de\u00a0Saint Cosme<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0He marketed his\u00a0Gigondas<\/span>\u00a0in barrels, to traders.<\/span>\u00a0The children continue their father's work.<\/span>\u00a0No chemicals are used to preserve the vines.<\/span>\u00a0 In 1997, trading<\/span>\u00a0can be\u00a0named<\/span>\u00a0\"\u00a0Wine merchant<\/span>\" ,<\/span>\u00a0\u00e0<\/span>\u00a0noticed during his trip to the Rh\u00f4ne that the great terroirs weren't being nurtured to their full potential.<\/span>\u00a0These places made him want to be an old-fashioned n\u00e9gociant, which means getting into the business with a winemaker's attitude.<\/span>\u00a0For him, this job was about :<\/span> Search<\/span> of spirit in the terroirs and vineyards, working meticulously on small cuv\u00e9es, working with winemakers who love their craft, transporting wines in barrels to avoid damaging them.<\/span>\u00a0Work at St Cosme is carried out by hand, and the wines are vinified to let the terroirs speak for themselves, giving them balance and personality.<\/span>\u00a0They need to be able to age.<\/span><\/p>\n
