The palate is supple

and a long growing season produced a vintage with excellent quality

The ‘les Picasses’ vineyard stands out from the rest: old vines of 50-ish years on a fairly steep slope from the riverbank that is alluvial clay with a chalk limestone base

it is marked by notes of lime and jasmine in the bouquet and hints of pear in its flavor

Costieres de Nîmes by Pierre Vidal, 2020 Croatina The palate is suppleSouthern Ctes du Rhne blend of 60% Grenache with roughly equal parts of the Syrah and Mourvdre grapes, its a fleshy but elegant wine, with an enveloping core of spicy dark berries and a firm grip of tannins. Beyond the fruit, its the expression of the soil that gives the wine its true identity. It's a wild, seductive, rustic wine that exudes the South of France.
