Chateau de Campuget, which belongs to the Dalle family since 1941, is producing great A.O.C. Costieres de Nimes wines. The vineyard of 160 hectares is situated in the heart of the A.O.C. area, between Nimes and Arles, a few kilometres from the right side of the Rhone river. The main characteristic of the 'terroir' is its soil , formed by an accumulation of round stones that had been rolled by many overflows of the Rhone river during the quaternary era. It allows the grapevines to establish their roots deep enough to find the water they need for growing. At the same time they profit of the sunny Mediterranean climate, essential for the good maturation of the grapes. Although equipped with stainless-steel tanks and modern tools, Chateau Campuget wines are made and matured in a traditional way. From its own bottling-line to the air-conditioned warehouse, it can control the quality of the wines from the vineyard to the bottle. Traditional Rhone grape varieties make this a spicy, full and fruity wine. (12 x 75 cl)

From its own bottling-line to the air-conditioned warehouse, it can control the quality of the wines from the vineyard to the bottle. This wine is made from a selection of the best grapevines in the vineyard. It represents the quintessence of Campuget wines and is the best expression of the 'terroir'. After being made traditionally, the wine is matured for twelve months, half in new wooden barrels and the other half in 'demi-muids'. This is a dark garnet-red coloured wine with a very expressive scented bouquet that exhales the strong aromas of red and black fruits with notes of vanilla. In the mouth, its structure is concentrated but round. Its very persistent fruitiness leaves an impression of powerfulness which denotes its great potential. (6 x 75 cl)
