Château de la Tuilerie 2007 Eole Rouge Red (Costières de Nîmes)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
A luxury cuvée aged in oak for up to two years, this is marked by the barrel, but it’s most intriguing feature is an intricate herbal overlay to the plummy fruit. This blend of Grenache and Syrah is chunky and extracted, meant for aging, although not unapproachable. Drink now–2015.

Château de la Tuilerie 2009 Celebration Viognier (Vin de Pays d'Oc)

Château de la Tuilerie 2008 Syrah (Costières de Nîmes)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
This is a relatively lightweight Costières de Nîmes, despite being 100% Syrah. Modest cherry and black pepper notes are pretty enough, just lack intensity and fade a bit quickly on the finish.

Château de la Tuilerie 2009 Celebration Merlot (Vin de Pays d'Oc)
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Lightweight but round, this Merlot is missing a bit of lushness to its dark fruit core, with more skin-driven flavors of cherry and plum.

Château de la Tuilerie 2009 Viognier-Grenache Blanc (Costières de Nîmes)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
The 20% Viognier doesn’t seem to make much of impression, as the wine lacks that variety’s often flamboyant aromatics. Instead, it delivers modest lime and grapefruit flavors, medium body and a crisp, abbreviated finish.
