This wine shines consistently year after year. You'll find the aromatics of both grapes in this wine--melon and citrus from the Sauvignon Blanc, apricot and flowers from the Viognier. The palate is medium weight to more, with notes of orange, peach, apricot, jasmine and lemon, all integrated into a juicy, fleshy, rounded mouthfeel. It stays crisp and energetic, driving you back for more.

This wine was fermented and aged in stainless steel.

Wines labeled St. Cosme (without the word "Chateau") are made with purchased fruit from long-term grower contracts.  They are treated with the same rigorous selection and expertise as the highly-rated estate wines and are excellent values that showcase their terroirs.  Louis Barruol took over from his father in 1992 and created the negoce-vigneron side of the business in 1997.  His ancestors acquired the estate in 1570 and he is the fourteenth generation to tend vineyards.
