"Le Poste" ist eine Lage an der Kapelle von Saint Cosme mit einem Mergel- und Kalkboden, der die selbe Zusammensetzung besitzt wie die Böden im burgundischen Montrachet. Der "Le Poste" ist der "femininste" Wein von Louis Barruol.
"The 2009 Gigondas Le Poste (from limestone soils) is aged in a slightly different way (50% new oak and 50% 1-year-old barrels are used). This vineyard was ravaged by hail in 2009, so only 75 cases were made from 2.47 acres. Normally this cuvee would be 100% Grenache, but in order to vinify the wine, Barruol had to add 30% Syrah, breaking his overall philosophy that these single terroir wines have to be 100% Grenache. In any event, while this wine is made in a slightly different style, it is an outstanding effort displaying a deep ruby/purple color along with sweet blackberry, cassis and floral notes, full body, a chewy style and plenty of well-concealed tannins. It should drink well for 10-12 years." (Parker's Wine Advocate)
