Chateau de Saint Cosme Le Claux Gigondas

Every monarch needs a French chateau and 2000 year old vineyard site! There’s a nod to Burgundy in the violet and exotic spice overlay of this northern Rhone grenache, but its incredible concentration, layers of white pepper and textural tannins speak definitively of grenache. $80 at Vintage Cellars.
