Wine Enthusiast
Charming, Costières de Nîmes white exhales fragrances of white fruit and citrus with a fresh touch of menthol. On the palate, it's unctuous, tasty and invigorating. A lovely, well-balanced Grenache blanc and Roussanne duo! A true pleasure wine, ideal as an aperitif.

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 :
In 2004, Pascal Glas decided to take over the family vineyards after more than twenty years of winemaking in cooperative wineries in the south of France. Situated on the north-western edge of the Costières de Nîmes appellation, he makes straightforward, honest wines with exemplary balance and purity of fruit. The wines are thirst-quenching, with great depth of fruit, without ever being overdone.
