Saint Cosme Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Wine Description
The Saint Cosme Châteauneuf-du-Pape allows the terroir to speak for itself; the clay and rolling stones of the vineyards hand us an alluring blend of Grenache Mourvèdre, Syrah, and Cinsaut. Aged for 24 months in old barrels, this red benefits from the long refinement in wood.
