Description
In a nutshell:
A medium-bodied, spicy and characterful French red from near the mouth of the Rhône.
The lowdown:
The vineyards in the Costières de Nîmes area close to the Mediterranean from where this wine comes benefit from extensive sunshine and the cooling maritme effect of being near the sea. Made from 50% Syrah, 30% Mouvedre and 20% Grenache it has lots of wild thyme herbiness on the nose and a really clean, fruity and spicy palate with supple tannins. A real thirst-quencher and perfect if you're after something with a bit of structure and depth that isn't too heavy.
The Producer:
Vines have been grown around Château lErmite dAuzan in Saint-Gilles just outside the Camargue for several centuries with records of l'Ermitage of Costieres producing wine for pilgrims en route to Santiago de Compostella as far back as the twelfth century. So, theres a pretty long history of viticulture in these parts. Today the estate extends to 80 hectares of sunny, south-facing vineyards on sandstone soils where the owner, Jérôme Castillon and his son, Tanguy, now do things very much along biodynamic lines.
When to drink:
With food it's great with things like grilled, or roast lamb.
Suitable for Vegans, Biodynamic
