"The 2012 Costières de Nîmes Galets Rouges offers classic, ample notes of garrigue, peppery flavors, and black cherry in an accessible, delicious style that is medium-bodied and supple. It has great Provençal character and should drink well for 3 to 4 years. " (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker). Harmonious and generous!

About wine:
A wine for any occasion, whether an evening with friends or a large family meal, no one will be disappointed! Delicious and deep at the same time. Delicate and serious. Can be drunk immediately but can also be kept.
About the estate:
A true pioneer in the qualitative revival of the appellation, this estate has a variety of terroirs, which it uses to create blends that strike a balance between finesse and structure. The wines are of a very high quality and continue to improve. In summer, François and Anne Collard offer walking and mountain biking tours around the property, allowing visitors to discover their terroir and the region's flora and fauna. It's well worth a visit! An estate of excellence with a few exceptional plots of old vines, producing consistent, understated wines that win us over every year.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
François Collard is a regular feature in the Guide, with wines that often rank highly. Established in 1994, he produced his first bottles from the family vineyards (65 hectares certified organic since 2014) under two labels: Mourgues du Grès, owned by the Ursuline convent in Beaucaire until the Revolution, and La Tour de Béraud, which takes its name from a 14th-century watchtower dominating the vast Beaucaire plain. Never short of ideas, the Collard couple invite visitors to discover all the facets of the estate via a marked trail equipped with Bluetooth terminals.

Wine rated 14.5/20 (Good)
About wine:
This vintage opens with freshness followed by superb flavors (carob, cocoa, olive, tomato, bramble). The texture is fluid, with a fine grain tinged with graphite, bursting with black grape juice and bitter licorice on the finish. It's a perfect thirst-quenching Costières!
