Costieres de Nimes
Costières de Nîmes Wine - Buy Wine from the Costières de Nîmes Region of France
The vineyards that descend towards the Mediterranean from the hinterlands of the Roman city of Nîmes enjoy less elevated land prices than their near neighbours in the Southern Rhône but have an equally favourable climate and similar stony soil. Although vines have been cultivated here since roman times, until recently the wines of the Costières de Nîmes were regarded as poor relations to their Rhodanienne cousins. Over the past decade quality here has improved immeasurably and this is now a destination appellation for wines of quality and value.
At Château Roubaud, the Molinière family produce wines with a strong sense of terroir that Rhône guru John Livingstone-Learmonth has dubbed ‘STGT’ or ‘soil to glass transfer’.
