Description

The red Galets Dorés from Mourgues du Grès has a beautiful, southern expression with the characteristic mild spiciness and full-bodied fruitiness of Rhône wines. With this wine, François Collard also demonstrates that in a relatively warm region like the Costières de Nîmes, with low vineyard yields, you can harvest very ripe grapes with a fresh flavor. So, no jammy sweetness here, but crisp fruit and drinkability.

After harvest, Collard ferments the Syrah, Grenache Noir, and Marseille grapes in concrete vats, avoiding contact with wood to maximize fruit expression. Also noteworthy is the high degree of suppleness and perfect integration of the tannins into the flavors, achieved through aging in tank for an impressive fifteen months. This characterful, mild-flavored, organic wine pairs exceptionally well with (spicy) dishes. A true class act! During the warmer months, the wine is best enjoyed slightly chilled.
