2019 Chateau de Saint Cosme Gigondas Le Claux Rhone, France Castilla y León we also pressed some ChardonnayLe Claux is the estates oldest vineyard and sits near the entrance to the winery. It was first planted in 1870 following phylloxera. My uncles thought it wasnt producing enough fruit and planned to uproot it in 1914, says Louis Barruol, but World War I interrupted that plan. The 1. 8 hectare Le Clauxmeaning Clos in old Frenchis a field blend of predominately Grenache. Louis Barruol believes 10% of the vineyard is from the original 1870 planting. Vines
