Château de Nages Héritage Vieilles Vignes 2023 generally receives very positive reviews and is often described as an extremely affordable wine that ”delivers above its price range”.

The wine is made from the three classic grapes usually referred to as GSM: 70% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 15% Mourvedre.

The wine comes from the Costières de Nîmes area of ​​southern France, located in the southernmost part of the Rhône Valley. Château de Nages is run by Michel Gassier, who works according to organic and sustainable principles. The Vieilles Vignes designation means that the wine is made from grapes from ”old vines”, which gives a natural concentration and depth of fruit.

Aroma & Palate:

Big and nuanced with clear hints of dark berries such as wild raspberries and blackberries, interspersed with spicy notes of bay leaves, violets and a light touch of smoky meat and vanilla from the barrel aging.

A full-bodied and flavorful wine with a fresh fruity acidity. Here you are met with sun-ripened fruit, chewy but well-integrated tannins and a long, spicy aftertaste with hints of licorice and pepper.

Food pairing:

This is a classic barbecue and dinner wine. It goes well with:

Meat: Tasty dishes of lamb, beef or game, preferably with herbs such as thyme and rosemary.

Stews: A hearty French boeuf bourguignon or lamb ragu.

Accessories: Creamy gratins, roasted root vegetables or a strong red wine sauce.
