| Winery | Le Poste is a historic vineyard surrounding Saint Cosme Chapel. It is formed of four terraces, three planted to Grenache and one to Clairette, on hillsides of Tortonian limestone marl. The site has a unique history, dating back to 1443, having been in the hands of Orange royalty during the 15th century. It changed hands and fell under the ownership of the Barruol family ancestor Esprit Vaton in 1490. It seems likely that the Gallo-Romas grew vines in the 1st century at 'Le Poste Jess', less than 100 metres away from their vats today. Louis Barruol’s love for the parcel is rooted in nostalgia. It is where his mother used to pick wild thyme, fennel, rosemary, blackberries, figs, cherries and almonds. Elderberries and broom grow effortlessly here, and ‘Le Poste’ honey is made from two hives, where 60,000 bees are ready to help with flowering at St Cosme. Everything on this hillside is intense yet refined, including this eponymous cuvée. The vines were painstakingly replanted by Louis’ father, Henri Barruol, in 1963. This wine is certified organic. |
