This is among the oldest estates in the commune, being on the site of a Roman villa, the occupants of which very likely made their own wine hereabouts. The Barruol family bought the estate (which was first documented in 1416) in 1570. Currrent incumbent Louis Barruol works 15 hectares of old vines and, since 1997, has also had a negociant business.

"The most elegant and complex of the single vineyards, the 2007 Gigondas le Poste (these are all basically 100% Grenache) reveals a youthful ruby/purple-tinged color to go with notes of crushed flowers, olives, cured meats and spice. This full-bodied, utterly seamless beauty has ultra-fine tannin, no hard edges, impeccable overall balance and a sensational finish. Drink it anytime over the coming 15 years or more. 97/100." Jeb Dunnock
All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab.
Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
