Wine Enthusiast
"Enveloping notes of fresh green herbs and menthol lend invigorating freshness to the crisp black cherry and raspberry notes in this blend of Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan. Full-bodied and ample, yet vibrantly balanced. The finish is marked by a touch of cassis and fine tannins. Drink now through 2027." (Wine Enthusiast 2020)

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
Diane de Puymorin settled in 1998 on a terroir of rolled pebbles and sandstone, at the gateway to the Camargue, on the southern slopes of the Costières-de-Nîmes. The family coat of arms, in gold and red (gules in Old French), gives its name to the estate, a 50-hectare vineyard that produces wines of strong personality, playing on power and extraction while retaining fine tannins. Vinification takes place in concrete tanks, followed by barrel or tank ageing, depending on the grape variety. The white cuvées are impressive for their refreshing textures and spontaneity. In the reds, the cuvée les-cimels is the most accessible, fruit-driven, but with a fine concentration of substance. Trassegum and la-bolida are powerful, extracted wines, with more ambitious ageing in wood.

About the wine:
Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan are on the menu for this Trassegum ("love filter" in Occitan), a wine of strong character, with a nose of ripe black fruits, garrigue, tapenade and menthol. Concentrated, young, structured, with powerful yet fine tannins that generously coat the palate and good acidity, this cuvée offers great potential.
About the domain :
The name of this estate, created in 1998 by Diane de Puymorin, evokes the colors of the family coat of arms, striped gold and red (gules). The vineyard covers 60 ha of organic vineyards, and the conversion to biodynamic viticulture is underway (10 ha already certified). An original feature: music therapy is used in the vineyards. One of the best references in costières-de-nîmes, with the added bonus of keeping old vintages in stock.
