Located at the top of the Costières de Nîmes region, the vineyard is south facing and benefits from constant sunshine. The Costières soil is made of Rhône rocky alluviums, better known as brownstone, and similar to the Cote du Rhône terraces. It mainly contains round flat stones of varying sizes (pebbles), with a constant mineralogical constitution.
The main quality of this wine is its pre-fermented blend of grapes from the vat process. This marriage of grapes reveals a ripe red and black berries aroma, as well as a fleshy and full-bodied feel in the tannins.
This wine would be a perfect accompaniment to charcuterie, grilled, fried or sautéed white meats, and all types of grilled food.
This wine is ideal at room temperature or slightly cooler (16 - 18 ° C) to reveal its fruity character. Very pleasant from an early age, this wine will improve well for several years.
