About this wine
This Costières de Nîmes from Château de Valcombe shows what happens when Syrah and Grenache come together in perfect harmony. It's a wine that delivers intensity without losing its elegance, making it an excellent choice for those who love bold reds with finesse.
The glass reveals an almost black color, while the nose bursts with dark fruits, morello cherries, and hints of mocha. On the palate, you'll find pure, expressive flavors dominated by black fruits, supported by dense yet surprisingly soft tannins. The finish is remarkably long and fresh, which is quite impressive for such a concentrated wine.
This pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, beef stew, or aged cheeses. Decant it for at least an hour before serving at 16-18°C to let it fully express itself.

Absolutely charmed
J'ai bu cette bouteille avec un bon boeuf bourguignon et je me suis autant régalé avec mon assiette qu'avec mon verre. Le nez est très plaisant, le vin est agréable en bouche. C'est simple et efficace, j'adore.
