70% of Mourvèdre
20% Grenache
10% Syrah

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".

Gigondas Hominis Fides Castle of Saint Cosimo 2021 

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.
