"Generous and lively, this is the estate's must-have white!"

"A fresh, lively, textured blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and Vermentino. Notes of fresh lemon, warm herbs and stones on the nose. Medium-bodied, with a fresh core of blanched almonds and sliced green pears for freshness and balance. Lively and well composed." (James Suckling 2024)

"A consensual cuvée that's both generous and fruity!

"This is a deliciously fruity, harmonious red composed of syrah, grenache, marselan and mourvèdre. The nose presents aromas of wild berries, dried herbs and crushed pepper. Medium-bodied, with fine, firm tannins, a very juicy mid-palate and a concentrated finish." (James Suckling 2024)

"Fruit, mocha and peppercorns!"

A fine representative of Costières de Nîmes reds! Fresh black fruit, plum, pepper with very "garrigue" notes. The palate is energetic, with lots of fruit and structure! A pleasant finish with chocolate accents.

"A surprising rosé with fine strawberry notes enhanced by a hint of salt, the ideal table rosé!"

This rosé de saignée from the southern Rhône Valley is revealed in a garnet-red color. Luscious aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant and lemon mint mingle in the glass. The palate, supported by fine acidity, presents mineral and fruity notes, with great breadth, depth and freshness.

"The refinement of Costières

"Deep red with purple streaks. Discreet nose combining stone fruit, redcurrant, fine spices, liquorice and dried vegetables. A velvety, full-bodied palate that expresses itself more readily, displaying beautiful, pure, refined intensity and a long finish." (Le Guide Gilbert & Gaillard 2022). A very fine Costières for laying down.

"A winter rosé to discover.

A rosé in winter? Perfectly! This rosé has incredible aromatic richness. Have fun tasting it blind, you might mistake it for a white. On the palate, it's a veritable concentrate of wild strawberry and rose, enveloped in a beautiful minerality. This cuvée is perfect for food and wine pairings; try it with sushi, red mullet with tomato, sweet and sour dishes... This rosé, known as "de saignée", meaning a few hours of maceration before extraction of the lightly colored juice, can be kept for several years. An original wine to discover!

Château Mourgues du Grès - Costière de Nîmes Capitelle blanc 2021

"A perfect white for gourmets".

This cuvée is a selection of the estate's best clos de blanc, blending Grenache Blanc, Marsanne and Vermentino. This long-keeping white reveals fresh notes of nuts (almonds, hazelnuts), white flowers and hints of citrus. The attack is frank with a mineral framework and a rich, voluptuous structure. Perfect for gourmets!

4.3/5 (3 reviews)

"Irresistible

The palate is elegant and complex, full-bodied, with a powerful structure refined by controlled ageing. Aged for 18 months in barrel (no new barrels), then a year in vat, this concentrated, fruity wine is smooth and toasty. From old Syrah vines enhanced by Grenache and Carignan!

Domaine de Poulvarel - Costières de Nîmes Les Perrottes 2020

This blend of predominantly Syrah, Grenache and Cinsault offers an expressive nose with notes of truffle, black fruit, cocoa bean and menthol. The palate is full and generous, fresh and silky, with a long finish. Les Perrottes 2020, a real treat!

Domaine Gassier - Costières de Nîmes Lou Coucardié rouge 2017

3.3/5 (3 reviews)

"The 2017 Costières de Nîmes Lou Coucardié reminds me a little of a classic old-school Bandol with its ripe, seductive and incredibly fleshy profile. Loaded with fruit and offering plenty of spicy meat, garrigue, pepper and new saddle leather aromas, as well as full-bodied richness, soft tannins and a great finish, this is one hell of a Costières de Nîmes. It can be drunk now, but it has enough tannin to justify short cellaring and should evolve nicely for more than a decade. (Jeb Dunnuck)

Château Mourgues du Grès - Capitelles rosé 2019

4/5 (4 reviews)

"With its slightly salmon-colored onion skin, this blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre is unmistakably seductive. The promise is perfectly fulfilled on tasting, with a wine of great elegance, imperceptibly oaky but framing the texture and giving it a subtle élan and depth. The convincing tasting of a 2010 proves the full potential of this cuvée and its astonishing ability to stand the test of time. Serve with aioli, pan-fried scallops with speck or poultry tajine with preserved lemon". (Le Figaro 2022)

"Pleasant nose combining floral, fruity and spicy tones, fruity and spicy tones. On the palate, plenty of body and substance from the outset, and a remarkably pure aromatic personality. a remarkably pure aromatic personality. Finish of spices, zan zan, stone fruit". (Gilbert & Gaillard 2021 Elegant and complex on the palate, this wine is full-bodied, with a powerful structure refined by controlled ageing. On old Syrah enhanced by Grenache and Carignan!

3.7/5 (6 reviews)

"The palate seduces with its harmony and roundness, but its aromas are somewhat restrained. A white that will benefit from decanting to energize its expression." (Gilbert & Gaillard 2021) This cuvée is a selection of the estate's best clos de blanc, blending Grenache blanc and Vermentino. This long-keeping white reveals fresh notes of fruit and white flowers, with hints of citrus. The attack is frank with a mineral framework and a rich, voluptuous structure. Perfect for gourmets!
