Chateau Mourgues du Gres 2009 Capitelles Red (Costières de Nîmes)

Price $26

Drawn from a particularly good parcel of old-vine Syrah and bolstered by just 10% Grenache and Carignan, this is an exciting expression of Costières de Nîmes. Aged in 500-liter barrels, the wood component is subtle, adding hints of cedar, vanilla and great textural richness to the wine. Plum, licorice and tree bark notes finish long and velvety. Drink now–2020. — J.C. (12/15/2011)

This enchanting rosé starts off slightly flinty and citrusy on the nose, but follows up on the palate with waves of creamy concentration and ripe berry fruit balanced by a bright, refreshing finish. — J.C. (12/15/2011)

Chateau Mourgues du Gres 2009 Terre d'Argence Red (Costières de Nîmes)

Floral and violetty on the nose, blending smoothly into vibrant blackberry notes. It's relatively light-bodied, with a Burgundian weight and mouthfeel that make it seem alternately fragile and elegant. Drink over the next year or two. — J.C. (2/1/2005)

Attractive, deep ruby color with restrained aromas of baked black berry fruit, licorice and spice. Dense, ultra-ripe plummy flavors with notes of prune, raisins and mocha. Fairly extracted creamy texture and warming alcohol. Full-bodied, grippy tannins with a moderately long finish. — W.E. (10/15/2010)

Chateau Mourgues du Gres 2010 Les Galets Dorés White (Costières de Nîmes)
