Château de Saint Cosme Gigondas Le Claux
Wine Description
Born from 80 year old vines in the Gigondas, the Château de Saint Cosme Le Claux is predominately Grenache and truly a product of its environment. The terroir combines limestone rich soils, altitude, a north-western aspect and a Mediterranean climate to create a wine classic in style reminiscent of a great Morey St. Denis or a finely aged Barolo.
