Other Information

The Costières de Nîmes vineyard is located in Southern France, in the Gard department, north of the Camargue, southeast of Nîmes. The Appellation Costières de Nîmes belongs to the vineyards of the Rhône Valley. However, this AOC was previously classified under Languedoc.

According to historians, the Costières de Nîmes vineyard is one of the oldest vineyards in France. The first vine was planted in this area by the Phoenicians. The Greeks and Romans continued this development, and later, Benedictine monks ensured the planting of the right grape varieties, suitable for the soil and climate. The sea wind ensures a fruity and healthy grape with many aromas. The large sandstone pebbles in the soil ensure optimal grape ripening, allowing the winemaker to create one of the most beautiful Rhône Valley wines.

The wine is aged for 3 months in new barrique barrels. This imparts a mature, elegant toasted flavor. This complex Saint-Louis Les Grandes Tablées Blanc is a blend of: Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, and Viognier.
