Costieres de Nimes, the easternmost appellation of the Languedoc, is effectively part of the Rhone since the climate, soil and topography are so similar to those just over the river in the southern Cotes-du-Rhone vineyards.

The relatively uniform soils are marked by large pebbles on gentle, typically south-facing slopes. Chateau de Campuget is a top quality estate near Nimes with a long history. In its cellar, tradition and progress unite to provide aroma, finesse and bouquet.

Chateau de Campuget deploys a wide range of traditional Rhone cepage to produce full, easy and spicy wines.

Grapes:    Syrah 100%

Maker:      Christophe Dhennin

Notes:      Classic Syrah nose with a very intense fruit-driven character. Made from 15
year old Syrah vines, this wine shows a smoky, liquorice character and a hint of
dark chocolate with a lovely smooth and chunky but velvety texture. No oak
ageing but bags of complexity.

Serve:      At room temperature to accompany roast and grilled red meats.

ABV:         13.5%
