Château de Saint Cosme is the leading estate in Gigondas, producing benchmark wines that define the appellation. Owned by the Barruol family since 1490, the estate is nestled in the heart of Gigondas, with 15 hectares of vineyards flourishing in the shadow of the Dentelles de Montmirail mountains. Little James’ Basket Rouge is an unconventional, non-vintage Grenache blend crafted using the solera system, a method typically associated with sherry production. By blending multiple vintages, this technique creates a wine with exceptional depth, consistency, and complexity. Overflowing with juicy red fruit, spice, and a hint of earthiness, it delivers a lively, approachable character—perfect for those who appreciate both tradition and innovation in winemaking.
