Description

Cette cuvée a été baptisée par le nom du taureau d’une fête régionale au cours de laquelle l’homme est poursuivi, et non pas l’inverse. Avec ce vin élaboré à partir de Mourvèdre, Grenache et Syrah, Michel Gassier prétend démontrer l’expression la plus intime de son terroir.

L'avis des experts

Jeb Dunnuck:

Always a Mourvèdre dominated cuvée, the 2015 Costières de Nîmes Lou Coucardié is a big, sweetly fruited, plum and sexy beast of a wine that offers lots of black raspberries, spiced plums, incense and cured meats. Big, full-bodied, unctuous and sweetly fruited, with a rounded texture, low acidity, and a good finish, Drink it over the coming decade or more. This was made with 50% stems and brought up in once used demi-muids.

The Wine Advocate:

The full-bodied, richly tannic 2015 Costieres de Nimes Lou Coucardie is a blend of 50% Mourvèdre, 30% Grenache and 20% Syrah aged in 600-liter demi-muids. At the moment, it's a bit dark and monolithic, resembling black cherry liqueur, but given its makeup, I expect it to develop additional complexity over the next 5 years. Certainly, the long, velvety finish suggests at least a bit of ageability.
