"Deep ruby-purple in color, the 2015 Costières de Nîmes Grimaudes is very good value, offering intense aromas of plum, spice box, leather saddle and peppery herbs in a medium-bodied, charming and straightforward profile." (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker). A round, gourmet red to die for!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domain rated 1*Star (A serious, commendable production, in keeping with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
Since 1999, at the Domaine des Perrières, Marc Kreydenweiss and his wife Emmanuelle have been happily combining their Alsatian know-how with their passion for Midi grape varieties, particularly reds, all using biodynamic methods. The result: magnificent wines that are completely out of the ordinary, the Ansata cuvée being a perfect illustration.

Drunk young. This wine combines the power of the South with an assertive sensibility. Good structure on the palate. Good value for money.
