CHÂTEAU D'OR ET DE GUEULES

An atypical career path that Diane de Puymorin, who presides over the destiny of this domain recreated in 1998, which required nearly 7 years of restructuring. But the result is there and the wines of Château d'Or and Gueules - "or" for the fullness and richness brought by the sun of the Costières, oriented here towards the sea and "gueules" for its meaning in Old French, i.e. red, for the colour, the depth, allied to the power - have a pronounced character, a real condensed version of Petite Camargue with rolled pebbles. The range is rich and the Pays d'Oc wines of syrah rub shoulders with the AOC Costières de Nîmes, with syrah, grenache, mourvèdre or carignan. The rolle, a rarer grape variety, is added to the grenache and roussanne for the whites. Yields are controlled and the typicality of these wines from the extreme south of the Rhône valley brings black fruits, sweet spices, raspberry, citrus fruits or vanilla to the palate. One of the last estates in the Costières de Nîmes appellation, to be discovered urgently. In addition, the estate has opted for organic and biodynamic viticulture.
After sleeping in the gîte, if you wish, you can walk through the vineyard thanks to the path marked out in 6 stages. A very interesting walk!
