Costières de Nîmes | Red | 2023
This estate wine is a blend of Syrah (80%) and Grenache Noir (20%), grown on a terroir of "gress," siliceous pebbles deposited by the Rhône River that promote ideal grape ripeness while preserving natural freshness. Biodynamic practices enhance the health of the vines, and meticulous winemaking, with each grape variety vinified separately, ensures an authentic expression of the appellation. The palate, generous with fruity and floral aromas, remains elegant and easy to drink.

Our opinion on the vintage
From the first sniff, this wine unfolds a complex array of ripe red fruits, delicate spices, and a subtle smoky note. On the palate, the balance is impressive: luscious notes of cherries and plums harmonize beautifully with a spicy and floral structure. The texture is supple, the tannins silky, and the fresh finish invites further exploration. This wine pairs perfectly with dishes in sauce or lightly spiced, adding extra depth to meats and chocolate.
Terre des Chardons
Languedoc | France
The wind shapes this corner of the Rhône, and the wines bear its mark: taut, upright Syrahs, almost austere at times, but never heavy. The estate has long practiced biodynamic viticulture, which gives a precise expression to the stony soils. The whites possess fleshiness but are held together by a lingering finish. In short: a very clean style. A serious, solid, consistent estate.
