Chateau Virgile "Costieres De Nimes" Rouge 2023

Château Virgile is a lush and concentrated example of a Costières de Nîmes. The nose is intense with black fruit aromas complimented with hints of garrigue spice. In the mouth the wine is dominated by dense black cherry flavors from the Syrah. The Syrah is complemented by hints of black pepper and red cherry notes from the Grenache. The Mourvèdre helps to provide the ripe tannins that give this wine its structure, while the Marselan softens the wine, giving it a lush, juicy character. 

The 2023 Château Virgile Costières de Nîmes Rouge is a red wine from the Costières de Nîmes AOC in the southern Rhône Valley, a region known for producing robust and flavorful wines. This area benefits from a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters, along with well-drained soils, which are ideal for growing a variety of red grapes. Chateau Virgile's vineyards, which sit at the edge of a plateau in deep gravel, produce dark, concentrated wines. This red blend does not spend any time in oak, and is lightly fined and filtered before bottling. 

Syrah 50%, Grenache 30%, Mourvèdre 10%, Marselan 10%
