Description
Costières de Nîmes is an appellation in transition. It received full AC status in 1986 and although notionally in the eastern part of the Languedoc, it shares the same topography, soil and climate as the southern Rhône (alluvial terroir of galet stones and sandstone). Château Saint-Cyrgues is beginning to produce quality wines across the board. In the vineyard natural remedies are encouraged and work is done by hand. The murrey-hued violet-scented Saint-Cirice Rouge is for those who enjoy gutsy spicy wines – fabulous concentration for a wine at this level. This blend of Grenache and Syrah pleads for barbecued leg of lamb.
