Saint Cosme Vineyards

As vintage is approaching the end, the newly fermented wines are warmly resting on their skins. The vineyards have slowly turned from their summer bright green robes to shades of yellow, rust, and amber. In the two pictures on the left are the bulk of the Saint Cosme Estate Gigondas vineyards. They are mainly planted in old vine Grenache, with the oldest parcels dating back to 1902. These vines make up the bulk of St. Cosme's Valbelle, Hominis Fides, and Le Claux wines. In the following picture, Syrah vines line the cool valley heading up to the Dentelles de Montmirail. The final stoney hillside Syrah vineyard is located in St. Maurice, a Cotes du Rhone village located in the next valley to the north. These grapes end up in the Les Deux Albion.
