Le Poste’s cool microclimate and limestone soil make it one of Saint Cosme’s most structured, aromatic, and mineral intense wines of the estate. This wine always walks a knife's edge of power and finesse thanks to its deep fruit and precise structure. The wine features aromas and flavors of iodine, violet, pepper, and ash.
Grenache is the pale-colored, red-fruited, and potpourri-scented red grape variety of the southern Rhône and can be paired with both rustic and sophisticated dishes. Full-bodied Grenache-based wines are ideal with stews, braises, and grilled meats, while lighter versions can work well with dark fish and tomato-based dishes such as ratatouille.
The 2023 Gigondas le Poste is superb, opening in the glass with aromas of violets, wild blackberry, licorice, garrigue and crushed rock. Medium- to full-bodied, deep and layered, it’s more taut and vertical than its siblings this year, and it's built around a spine of chalky tannins and bright acids that lend the wine precision and length. Despite its inherent power, it retains a sense of restraint and refinement, with a long, mineral-driven finish that speaks to the vineyard’s limestone soils. This is a serious, classically proportioned Le Poste that will reward a decade or more of cellaring. Raing: 95+
Monster in scale and depth, with a brooding core of dark fruit, spices and incense wrapped around a spine of molten iron. Displays power and ripeness, with an attractive, savory contrast of smoke and a salty tobacco edge to its black currant. There’s a rush of cedar polish on the rock-solid finish, which shows impressive finesse for such a weighty frame. Give this time to fully reveal itself.
