Chateau Grand Bourry Costières de Nîmes 2019

If you’ve yet to try a wine from southern France’s Costières de Nîmes region, it’s high time you got in on the action. Decanter magazine calls Costières de Nîmes a “rising star,” and top critic Andrew Jefford states that its red wines sport the “beefy flesh and power of better-than-ordinary Châteauneuf.”

Who better to give you a taste than talented winemaker Laurent Guillot? His family has crafted wine in Burgundy and Beaujolais for generations. But when he saw the potential of Costières de Nîmes, he decided to set up shop in this little-known appellation. The results, as you’ll discover, have been fabulous...

Château Grand Bourry is a brilliant showcase of Laurent’s expertise, marrying the elegance of his Burgundian heritage with the vibrant, fruit-rich charm of southern France. The 2019 release is a classic marriage of Grenache and Syrah, and it debuted to a Gilbert & Gaillard gold medal.

When you open the wine, you’ll be greeted by aromas and flavors of ripe raspberry, red cherry, wild herbs and hints of black olive. With firm tannins and a silky texture, this stylish red will pair well with game meats, hearty stews and more.

Though wine has been made in Costières de Nîmes for thousands of years (starting with the ancient Greeks), its wines remain something of a French secret. Order this fabulous gold-medal red today and drink ahead of the curve.
