Château de Nages

Château de Nages is part of Vignobles Michel Gassier, a family of winegrowers handed down from father to son for four generations. Château de Nages has thus been handed down from generation to generation, along with an immoderate love for vines, wine and the Mediterranean soil that bears them. The vineyard is part of the Costières de Nîmes, the southernmost part of the Rhône Valley, with its Rhone grape varieties, its soil (made up of pebbles deposited by the Rhône and Durance rivers) and the dry Mistral wind. It extends on gentle slopes to the south-east of Nîmes and as far as the Petite Camargue.

Château de Nages ' vines are grown in a sustainable manner, and the vineyard is now in conversion to organic farming. The terroir is composed of pebbles that store up the sun's heat, as in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and benefit from a convection effect generated by thermal sea breezes from the Mediterranean. The tempering effect of these sea breezes reinforces the thermal amplitudes between day and night, preserving the freshness and purity of the wines' fruit.
