A powerful expression of spice and heat, this wine captures the essence of southern Rhône character.
Costières de Nîmes Terre de Feu 2022 from Château Mourgues du Grès is a distinctive cuvée from one of the benchmark domaines of the southern Rhône valley. Located in Beaucaire, at the gates of the Camargue, Château Mourgues du Grès benefits from a singular terroir of rolled pebbles and clay-limestone soils, swept by sea winds, which impart freshness, balance and depth to the wines.
The Terre de Feu cuvée comes from exposed, naturally warm parcels planted predominantly with Syrah, complemented by Grenache. This terroir selection aims to express a more intense and structured facet of Costières de Nîmes, whilst preserving the refinement characteristic of the domaine's style. Winemaking 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, liquorice, pepper and garrigue, with a touch of smoke and spice. The palate is ample and concentrated, supported by an elegant tannin structure, fine 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 kept for a few years to gain in complexity.
A powerful and well-balanced wine from the southern Rhône, which perfectly illustrates the identity of the pebble terroirs and the recognised expertise of Château Mourgues du Grès.
