Description

Le couple de Michel et Tina Gassier met un point d’honneur à rechercher l’élégance, la pureté et la minéralité, qu’ils ont trouvées avec ce vin : un mélange de cinq variétés sur des sols très calcaires, avec un élevage qui vise à renforcer la saveur fruitée et la fraîcheur dans le bois et le béton. Il s’agit de l’un des meilleurs rapports qualité-prix de l’appellation Costières de Nîmes.

L'avis des experts

Jeb Dunnuck:

Almost exclusively from the estate Bec Vineyard in the southern part of the appellation, the 2017 Costières de Nîmes Nostre Païs is a great, great vintage for this cuvée. Black raspberries, crushed flowers, lots of minerality, and hints of incense give way to a deep, rounded, supple, and powerful version of this cuvée that has a great finish. The 2017 is a blend of 60% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 15% Syrah and the rest Carignan and Cinsault, aged in equal parts used French oak and concrete.

Robert Parker:

A blend of 55% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre and 5% each Carignan and Cinsault, the 2017 Costieres de Nimes Nostre Pais comes largely from sandy soils. It offers super ripe notes of black cherries and apricots. Full-bodied, rich and velvety, it finishes with plenty of flavor and length.

Wine Enthusiast:

A blend of five regional white-grape varieties, this opulent dry wine juxtaposes crisp tangerine and lemon flavors against layers of smoke, spice and toasted oak. It's enjoyable now for its concentrated fresh fruit, but structured enough to hold through 2024.
