"This Mourvèdre, made from old vines, is blended with 10% Grenache, resulting in a rich and powerful red. Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, it is a sumptuous wine with sun-kissed flavors of blueberry and blackberry and intoxicating notes of toast, vanilla, and coconut. Ripe tannins accentuate its luxurious style. Drink now through 2027.” (Wine Enthusiast 2020)

Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from 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 (gules). The vineyard covers 60 hectares cultivated organically, and the transition to biodynamic farming is underway (10 hectares 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.

Wine rated (2020 guide) 90/100

About the wine:

Dark garnet color. An inviting nose with black fruits (blackberry, blueberry), red currant, subtle spices, and smoky notes. A delicious, full-bodied attack; smooth, full-bodied, and robust on the palate, with powerful southern aromas. Still firm but already expressing itself brilliantly.
