Product Description:
The ‘Galet’ are reminiscent of our terroir of rounded stones known as ‘grès’. Modelled by the moraine of the Rhône glacier in the Quaternary Period, they characterise the Costières de Nîmes in the south of the Rhône Valley. This cuvee comes in all three colours; their robes resemble the shades of our white stones (Galets Dorés), pink stones (Galets Rosés) and red stones (Galets Rouges). The minerality contributes to the balance of the wine.Predominance of Syrah mixed with Grenache. With a touch of Mourvèdre -Depending on the vintage-. Vinification without sulphur for more purity and fruitiness. A slight addition at bottling to ensure the stability and ageing of the wine. Aged between 12 and 15 months in concrete vats for a wine that unites roundness, freshness and balance.
