Gigondas DNA: Saint Cosme Les Deux Albion Rouge 2022

Tasting Notes

Deep garnet with violet edges. Aromas rise in layers—roasted game, mesquite smoke, olive tapenade, crushed plum, black currant, and warm spice. The palate is structured yet energetic: black fruits roll into herby thyme, pepper, earth and silken tannins with mineral grip. You feel Rhône intensity and Gigondas pedigree in every sip.

Meet the Winemaker

Louis Barruol’s Château de Saint Cosme is Gigondas royalty since 1570, now biodynamic and quality-driven. Les Deux Albion is made from Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan and a splash of Viognier—all co-fermented on stems with indigenous yeasts in concrete and wood. Always unfined, unfiltered, and built for terroir transparency
