Gault & Millau

"A fabulous expression of Carignan, the 2012 Costières de Nîmes KA offers classic notes of old leather, pepper, wild herbs and an assortment of purple fruits. Medium- to full-bodied, with excellent concentration and remarkable purity, it should drink well over the next 4-6 years, though I wouldn't be surprised to see it last much longer."

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

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.

Gault & Millau Wine Guide

Guide des Vins Gault & Millau

Rated 16.5/20 (Very good)

About the wine:

We love the unwavering density of its sustained, bright flavors, bursting with black grape juice, cistus, licorice and notes of bitter cocoa. A firm, chiseled structure, with the heterogeneous grain that freshly accompanies it to the finish. Noble!
