The motto of the estate, taken from an old sundial outside the house, is sine sole nihil . The sun is in these wines. Les Gres is named after a specific terroir that is covered by the 'galets roules', or pudding stones, that were transported to this site by a glacial moraine and provides one of the defining characterisitics of the appellation of 'Costieres de Nimes'. The Galets Roses is a mostly Syrah based rose with a touch of Grenache to complete the blend. After the bleeding method used to create this rose, in which juice is bled and blended from other tanks prior to fermentation, this wine is then vinified and matured in stainless steel tanks for 6 months. Rigourous temperature control throughout fermentation preserves all of this wine's natural fruit and freshness. Its deep colour is due to the presence of the anthocynins and these were favoured by the alternating heat during the day followed by the relative cool of the evenings. Predominantly from vines more than forty years old Syrah with Grenache and a touch of Carignan and Mourvedre this wine is full, fresh and fruity, with good aromatic length. (6 x 75 cl)
