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: White winemaking
White wines are obtained by fermentation of the juice after pressing. A pre-fermentation maceration is sometimes practiced to extract the aromatic substances from the skins. White wines are normally made from white grapes, but can also be made from red grapes (blanc de noirs). The grapes are then pressed as soon as they arrive at the vat house without maceration in order to prevent the colouring matter contained in the skins from "staining" the wine.
