Château d'Or et de Gueules - Le fût entre 2 chaises 2020
A trendy and unique wine: macerated white wine, or “orange wine”! But what exactly is it? This 100% Rolle, vinified like a red, is then aged in oak barrels, giving it this beautiful orange hue. Its intense nose reveals aromas of candied orange zest, paprika, and dried apricot. The palate is lively from the start, playing on sensations of acidity, tannins, and controlled oxidation. It’s the perfect opportunity to discover an original wine and experiment with exotic food pairings!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to expectations for its appellation(s))
About the estate:
Diane de Puymorin settled in 1998 on a terroir of rounded pebbles and sandstone, at the gateway to the Camargue, on the southern slope of the Costières-de-Nîmes. The family coat of arms, featuring the colors gold and red (gueules in Old French), gave its name to the estate—a 50-hectare vineyard that produces wines with strong character, balancing power and extraction while retaining refined tannins. Winemaking takes place in concrete tanks, followed by aging in barrels or tanks depending on the grape variety. The white wines are impressive for their refreshing textures and spontaneity. Among the reds, the “Les-Cimels” is the most approachable, fruit-forward, yet with a beautiful concentration of body. “Trassegum” and “La-Bolida” are powerful, extract-driven wines, with more ambitious oak aging.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2020 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
The name of this estate, founded in 1998 by Diane de Puymorin, evokes the colors of the family coat of arms, which features gold and red stripes (gueules). The vineyard covers 60 ha cultivated organically, and the transition to biodynamic farming is underway (10 ha are already certified). A unique feature: music therapy is used in the vineyards. One of the top producers in the Costières-de-Nîmes region, which also has the good sense to keep older vintages in stock.
