Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
Diane de Puymorin settled in 1998 on a terroir of rolled pebbles and sandstone, at the gateway to the Camargue, on the southern slopes of the Costières-de-Nîmes. The family coat of arms, in gold and red (gules in Old French), gives its name to the estate, a 50-hectare vineyard that produces wines of strong personality, playing on power and extraction while retaining fine tannins. Vinification takes place in concrete tanks, followed by barrel or tank ageing, depending on the grape variety. The white cuvées are impressive for their refreshing textures and spontaneity. In the reds, the cuvée les-cimels is the most accessible, fruit-driven, but with a fine concentration of substance. Trassegum and la-bolida are powerful, extracted wines, with more ambitious ageing in wood.

About the domain :
The name of this estate, created in 1998 by Diane de Puymorin, evokes the colors of the family coat of arms, striped gold and red (gules). The vineyard covers 60 ha of organic vineyards, and the conversion to biodynamic viticulture is underway (10 ha already certified). An original feature: music therapy is used in the vineyards. One of the best references in costières-de-nîmes, with the added bonus of keeping old vintages in stock.
