Château d'Or et de Gueules - Costières de Nîmes Les Cimels rouge 2020
“Fruit Bouquet in Occitan”
Les Cimels is a blend dominated by Syrah, with 30% Carignan vinified using carbonic maceration to give it a fruitier, more approachable character. With a true bouquet of fruits, this lovely red is supple and silky, with delicate spicy notes. A beautifully balanced wine that pairs perfectly with a cut of red meat!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine 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 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 fine tannins. Vinification 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 substance. 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 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.
