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: Sulphur
An antiseptic and antioxidant substance known since antiquity, probably already used by the Romans. But it was only in modern times that its use was rediscovered. It will allow a better conservation of the wine and thus favour its export. Sulphur also gave the 18th century winegrower the possibility of extending the maceration period without fearing that the wine would turn sour and thus go from dark rosé wines to the red wines of today. Excessive sulphur, on the other hand, kills happiness, paralysing the aromas and causing headaches.
