90/100 Bettane & Desseauve
"A dense, compact, textured red made from old Syrah, Grenache and Carignan vines. The nose presents notes of black fruit, licorice, grilled herbs and cloves. Full-bodied, with fine, firm tannins. Robust and concentrated, with a chalky finish." (James Suckling 2024)
Château Mourgues du Grès - Costières de Nîmes Galets Rouges 2023
90/100 James Suckling
Cuvée Galets Rouges evokes the minerality of the pebbly terroir with its reddish hues. The wine's intensity is already evident in its deep, purplish color. Generous in black fruit and supported by spicy, licorice notes, this Costières de Nîmes is greedy and full-bodied. A true red pleasure!

91/100 James Suckling
"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)
Domaine de Poulvarel - Costères de Nîmes rosé 2023
This Costières de Nîmes rosé de saignée has a pretty pomelo-pink hue. The nose reveals pretty red fruits and delicate floral notes. Ideal with Provencal cuisine!

2*Étoiles Hachette
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.

89/100 Vinous
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.
Château Mourgues du Grès - Costières de Nîmes Equinoxe rouge 2019
Double Médaille d'Or Gilbert & Gaillard
"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.

89/100 Wine Enthusiast
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
90/100 James Suckling
"A medium-bodied, fruity blend of Grenache blanc and Vermentino, this wine has aromas of peach and quince jelly, as well as a round, spicy finish. Produced from biodynamically grown grapes." (James Suckling 2024)
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!

15,5/20 Bettane & Desseauve
"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 d'Or et de Gueules - Costières de Nîmes Les Cimels blanc 2021
3.4/5 (5 reviews)
From the latest vintage, this fresh white is explosively fruity, with a very pleasant nose of citrus fruit and white flowers. On the palate, it's taut and fresh, with fruit that's best enjoyed young. A pleasure cuvée, full of pep!
Château d'Or et de Gueules - Costières de Nîmes Les Cimels rouge 2020
3.9/5 (7 reviews)
Les Cimels is a predominantly Syrah cuvée with 30% Carignan vinified in carbonic maceration, to give it a fruitier, more approachable character. A veritable bouquet of fruit, this pretty red is supple and silky with delicate spicy nuances. A well-balanced wine that goes perfectly with a piece of red meat!

Cité Hachette
"Enveloping notes of fresh green herbs and menthol lend invigorating freshness to the crisp black cherry and raspberry notes in this blend of Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan. Full-bodied and ample, yet vibrantly balanced. The finish is marked by a touch of cassis and fine tannins. Drink now through 2027." (Wine Enthusiast 2020)
