"Medium to deep ruby-red color. Sweet nose of candied cherry, plum and red fruit with hints of garrigue and sweet oak. Well-rounded palate, silky tannin, freshly crushed berry flavors, digestive, juicy and fresh with a long, supple finish." (Andreas Larsson - Tasted)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
After a career in the wine press, Jean-Christophe Granier has returned to his home village of Vacquières, part of the Coteaux du Languedoc's Pic Saint-Loup area. It's a highly frequented winery that's proving its regularity.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2023) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
In 2000, Jean-Christophe Granier took over the old family estate, renamed it Les Grandes Costes after the hills adjacent to the house, and gave new impetus to this 19-hectare vineyard located in Corconne and Vacquières, on the edge of Pic Saint-Loup.
Gilbert & Gaillard
Wine rated (2020 guide) 89/100
About the wine:
Attractive, deep garnet-red color. Intensely fruity nose with hints of ripe blackcurrant. On the palate, a greedy, fruity wine that seduces with its silky texture, freshness and overall balance. The finish lingers on the fruit.

A 'second domaine wine' a little behind the "top" vintages. Half fig, half grape.

Note and review by M. GILLES D. Published on 06/04/2021
After a flattering 2018, the new Musardises cuvée confirms its supple, mellow character. Cinsault dominates, allowing the beautiful red fruits to express themselves. Despite its 14*, this harmonious, light wine is a pleasure to serve among friends with a good dish of spaghetti Bolognese, sprinkled with Parmesan and freshly chopped basil leaves. For fans of southern wines on the outskirts, I invite you to discover the remarkable Gems from the still little-known Coste Moynier domaine, which is still very reasonably priced.
