Mourgues Du Gres Galets Rouge

General Information

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.

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.

Deep ruby in color, with purple hues while it’s young. Profound and vibrant bouquet, with notes of blackberries and crisp blackcurrant. Generous and gourmand palate. Smooth, harmonious tannins in a wine where red berries, liquorice and violet mix. A mineral finish that contributes to the balance of the wine. pairs well with grilled meat, tagine, rabbit with prunes and cheese.  Enjoy now or over three years.

Serve at 15°C to bring out the fruitiness.
