Ratings: Robert Parker 92/100, Bettane & Desseauve 15/20, Gault Millau 14.5/20, RVF 14/20
“This estate is one of my favorites in the Costières de Nîmes…” says Robert Parker. It’s easy to see why the famous American critic feels this way when you discover this estate, which produces remarkable wines, such as this rare 2007 Terre de Feu cuvée, made in small quantities only during exceptional vintages. A highly expressive and original wine with aromas of raspberry liqueur, it’s the perfect accompaniment to “sweet-and-salty” dishes. A must-try!

Food and wine pairings
Très belles associations avec des mets "sucré - salé " comme : un magret aux pruneaux , un magret aux figues ou encore selon la recette d'Emmanuel Laporte publiée dans le livre "Vins et Chocolat" de Florence Hernandez (Editions Aubanel) : un sauté d'agneau d'agneau au chocolat !<br/> Egalement des fromages à pâtes bleues, des sorbets aux fruits rouges ou encore des desserts au chocolat...<br/>

Rated estate Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
François Collard is a regular in the Guide, with his wines often ranking highly. Established in 1994, he began bottling wines from the family vineyards (65 hectares certified organic since 2014) under two labels: Mourgues du Grès, which belonged to the Ursuline convent of Beaucaire until the Revolution, and La Tour de Béraud, named after a 14th-century watchtower Never short on ideas, the Collard couple invites visitors to explore every facet of the estate via a marked trail equipped with Bluetooth markers.
