Domaine de Poulvarel - Costières de Nîmes Les Perrottes 2023
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
"A real treat!"
“This wine is made from 60-year-old vines, with half the grapes fermented using carbonic maceration. After 12 months in barrels and tanks, it offers a nose of vanilla and cocoa that envelops the dark fruit. The palate is opulent yet fresh, supported by velvety, perfectly extracted tannins and noble oak notes with bittersweet flavors of dark chocolate and paprika. Definitely a wine for aging.” (Le Guide Hachette 2026)

Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 1 star (A high-quality, recommended wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
In 2004, Pascal Glas decided to take over the family vineyards after having made wine for more than twenty years in cooperative wineries in the south of France. Located on the northwestern edge of the Costières de Nîmes appellation, he crafts straightforward, honest wines with exemplary balance and purity of fruit. The wines are refreshing with beautiful depth of fruit, without ever being overpowering.

About the estate:
Pascal Glas and his wife Élisabeth took over the family estate in 2004 following the closure of the Sernhac cooperative. Today, they cultivate a 45-hectare vineyard and produce Costières-de-Nîmes wines—which are regularly featured in these pages—as well as an IGP wine. Certified HVE since 2014, the estate is in the process of converting to organic farming.

Review by Mr. Gilles D. Published on 12/20/2025
A blend of old vines combined with excellent aging reveals a rich, generous character, with a succulent, full-bodied palate featuring ripe, spicy black fruits, wrapped in velvety, enveloping tannins. Offers excellent value for money. As always, it pairs beautifully with pork chops marinated in sage and rosemary, served with a Provençal ratatouille. Rating = 4.2.
