Discover the Essence of Château de Saint Cosme's
SYRAH: A TRIBUTE TO CROZES-HERMITAGE
Nestled in the southern Rhône Valley of France, Château de Saint Cosme stands as a beacon of tradition and innovation in the esteemed appellation of Crozes-Hermitage. Renowned for its uncompromising dedication to quality and sustainability, this historic estate has shaped the region's wine standards since its inception.
In the 1970s, Château de Saint Cosme pioneered organic farming methods, setting a precedent for sustainable viticulture in the region. Building on this legacy, the estate embraced biodynamic practices in 2010, further enhancing the authenticity and purity of its wines.
At the heart of Château de Saint Cosme's winemaking philosophy lies the exclusive use of Sérine, a rare and indigenous variety of Syrah. Cultivated in hillside vineyards located in Erôme, Gervans, and Larnage, these grapes reflect the unique terroir of Crozes-Hermitage with every sip. The oval shape and spacious bunches of Sérine yield profoundly aromatic wines, celebrated for their purity and complexity.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Saint Cosme Crozes-Hermitage undergoes fermentation with indigenous yeasts and aging in 228-liter barrels. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration, preserving its essence and character. The result is a wine that captivates with a rich array of flavors—blackberry, plum, and black cherry interwoven with nuances of pepper, clove, and cinnamon.
Saint Cosme Crozes-Hermitage is characterized by its medium to full body, supported by firm tannins that contribute to its robust structure and aging potential. This wine exemplifies the quintessential expression of Syrah from Crozes-Hermitage, offering a harmonious balance of fruit, spice, and terroir-driven complexity.
