"Its greedy nose is reminiscent of oranges. Ripe and long on the palate. Its tannins are firm, while its fruit is of the highest quality". (La Revue du Vin de France - June 2021). This half-Syrah, half-Grenache red Costières de Nîmes represents the whole Mediterranean in the glass!

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.
