The Château de Nages is a vineyard estate located in the Gard region of France. In the heart of Nages village, the château is a charming little gem of Provence's rural heritage. It sits on a little hill, surrounded by vineyards, fields, and meadows, with a stunning view over the valley hills. The estate was founded in the 15th century. Following its rich history, Château de Nages became a fully modernized property, producing high-quality wines in partnership with experienced vintners who understand what a "scientific approach" means.

Since then, it has become one of the most popular and top wine producers in the region. The estate is located at an elevation of 240 meters, providing ideal weather conditions for grape growth. The sunny slopes face south and offer several varieties of terroir. They are planted with Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Cinsault, and Mourvèdre. At Château de Nages, each blend is handcrafted and produced. The wines are minimally manipulated. They are matured in French oak barrels and stainless steel tanks to balance the natural fruitiness of the grapes and the nuances of the Provencal soil. The estate's wines are full-bodied, fruity, and spicy, reflecting the unique rich soil and diverse climate conditions characterizing the vineyard. Château de Nages also offers a variety of gastronomic experiences, including tours of the cellar and vineyard.
