Costières de Nîmes Terre de Feu 2022 Chateau Mourgues du Grès

Costières de Nîmes Terre de Feu 2022 from Château Mourgues du Grès is a characterful cuvée from one of the Rhône Valley's reference estates. Located in Beaucaire at the edge of the Camargue, Château Mourgues du Grès benefits from a singular terroir of rolled pebbles and clay-limestone soils, swept by sea winds, which bring freshness, balance and depth to the wines.

The Terre de Feu cuvée comes from naturally warm, south-facing parcels planted primarily with Syrah, complemented by Grenache. This terroir selection aims to express a more intense and structured side of Costières de Nîmes, while retaining the finesse characteristic of the domaine's style. Vinification is precise, with controlled extraction and careful ageing, allowing the wine to gain complexity without masking the fruit.

The nose is deep and expressive, marked by ripe dark fruit aromas, liquorice, pepper and garrigue, with a touch of smoke and spice. The palate is broad and concentrated, supported by elegant tannins, good freshness and a long, persistent finish.

This Costières de Nîmes Terre de Feu 2022 pairs beautifully with grilled meats, sauced dishes, lamb, game or Mediterranean cuisine with intense flavours. It can be enjoyed today after aeration, or cellared for a few years to gain complexity.

A powerful and balanced wine from the southern Rhône, which perfectly illustrates the identity of the pebbled terroirs and the recognised expertise of Château Mourgues du Grès.
