The wine region of Costières-de-Nîmes
A link between the southern Rhône and the Languedoc (the Rhône's southern tip, Gard): signature Syrah-Grenache reign in reds (≥50%) — fruity and structured with ripe black fruit (blackberry, blueberry), cherry, raspberry, plum, mirabelle and a spicy touch, supple tannins and a fresh finish. Dense Mourvèdre, Carignan and Cinsault complement, Marselan a modern touch. Lively rosés. Ample whites (Grenache Blanc, Roussanne).
The wine region of Rhone Valley
France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Light (taste of)
Taste close to oxidation, characteristic of champagnes altered by prolonged exposure to light.
