Twelve month aging: 20% in new pieces-50% in pieces of one wine-30% in pieces of two wines.
The locality, the "climate" in Burgundy terminology, is obviously a fundamental concept in this business. clearly expressed and transmitted. If there is a locality in Saint Cosme that illustrates the notion of "place", it is certainly the Post, as its identity is easy to identify. Its unique topography and geology make it a place that instills imagination. Violet, ashes, little wild strawberry.

GIGONDAS HOMINIS FIDES CHATEAU OF SAINT COSME 2017 

Very old grenache planted on Miocene limestone sands at a place called "Hominis Fides". Whole harvest. Twelve month aging: 20% in new pieces - 50% in pieces of one wine - 30% in pieces of two and three wines.

The sands of Miocene are, in Gigondas as in the rest of the valley of the Rhone, a geological event posterior to the great uprising of the lace of Montmirail. When the Alps rise, they, like a sheet of paper that we tilt, "open" the Rhone Valley, allowing the sea to engulf itself like a snake finding its way. The sea then covers Lyon, circling the Alpine arc; the Luberon and the Ventoux are only islands, prehistoric fish frolic in the chapel of Saint Cosme and ammonites accumulate in phenomenal quantities. At this time, sands are deposited in our region: we find them in many sites in the Southern Rhone Valley: in the Uchaux massif, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas ... Much later, the small ants that we decide to grow vitis vinifera on these sands, and it turns out that the grenache finds there an amazing field of expression. The old Grenache vine in the Miocene sands is the aromatic finesse, the elegant texture, the depth in the mouth. When the wine ages, it takes notes of Morey Saint Denis pinot: peony and small red berries. What a great idea to have planted at the dawn of the twentieth century, 12 years before the Great War, this vineyard that is always with us. 

Origin Saint Cosme

Chateauneuf du Pape La Part des Anges Domaine Raymond Usseglio 2022 75 cl


70% of Mourvèdre
20% Grenache
10% Syrah

A late variety and very capricious, mourvèdre is certainly one of the most demanding grape varieties in the south of France, especially when it is situated at the northern limit of its cultivation. This cuvee benefits from a rather marked breeding to accompany the tannic power of the grape variety. When a wine is put in cask for its breeding, part of its volume evaporates it is called "THE PART OF THE ANGELS".

The PART OF ANGELS is a rather special vintage for a Châteauneuf du Pape because it is the Mourvèdre that dominates the blend 70% supplemented with Grenache 20% and a little Syrah 10%. Plan a carafage if you want to taste this wine before its 2-3 first years of care. Unfiltered wine please excuse a possible natural deposit and beneficial to the aging of the wine.

In 2005, Emilie, with her degree in oenology in her pocket, joins her father. In 2009, Christophe, Emilie's brother, joined the estate after obtaining his BTS viticulture / oenology. It's a family job with a will and well-defined tasks.
