VinoUS Media Review
Rated 98
Opaque red. Sharply defined red fruit, floral and Moroccan spice aromas, along with intense mineral, garrigue and cola nuances. Shows superb depth as well as vivacity on the palate, offering juicy red and blue fruit, floral pastille and spicecake flavors and an exotic hint of blood orange. Finishes impressively long and precise with firm tension, discreet tannins and reverberating red fruit and floral notes. Drinking Window 2028-2038. (By Josh Raynolds on January 2023)

Wine Tasting Notes
The soil at Le Claux is a yellowish limestone marl and produces the most “Burgundian” wine at Saint Cosme. Chateau de Saint Cosme Gigondas Le Claux is extremely refined and fresh with lots of bouquet. Its propensity to mature is excellent. The wine features aromas and flavors of wild strawberries, violet, peat, Chinese Five Spice, and camphor.
Grenache is the pale-colored, red-fruited, and potpourri-scented red grape variety of the southern Rhone and can be paired with both rustic and sophisticated dishes. Full-bodied Grenache-based wines are ideal with stews, braises, and grilled meats, while lighter versions can work well with dark fish and tomato-based dishes such as ratatouille.
