Tasting Notes
"One of my favorite whites from the region, as well as a year in, year out value, the 2013 Costières de Nîmes Nostre Païs Blanc is 60% Grenache Blanc (always from the same parcel) and the rest Clairette, Roussanne and Viognier. Fermented one-third in barrel and aged eight months on lees, it offers fabulous notes of stone fruits, buttered citrus, white flowers and honeysuckle to go with a medium-bodied, fresh, lively and pure style. While it doesn’t skimp on texture, the focus is more on freshness and purity. Drink it anytime over the coming 2-3 years."

The Producer
Michel Gassier
Michel Gassier stands as a highly respected, family-owned winery situated in the Costières de Nîmes region within the southern Rhône Valley. Renowned for its Château de Nages wines, crafted from the heart of the family estate, the winery also offers a diverse selection of wines under the Michel Gassier label.
These additional wines originate from approximately 100 hectares (250 acres) of extra vineyards. These include plots acquired by Cristina and Michel Gassier before inheriting Château de Nages, along with a 50-hectare (125-acre) estate in Bech, located in the southern part of the appellation, acquired in 2012.
Situated amidst the Camargue's forests and marshes, the lower part of this site features a shallow loamy topsoil that enables the vines to reach the chalky bedrock. This unique soil composition is believed to impart acidity and minerality to the final wines, along with areas of yellow sand. At the higher elevation of the site, a pebbly topsoil covers iron-rich sandstone.
The diverse topsoil and underlying layers contribute to the cultivation of a broad array of grape varieties. Some areas, replanted densely with Grenache (using cuttings from old Châteauneuf-du-Pape plants), are maintained as bush vines like the older blocks, precluding the possibility of mechanized operations in the future.
In addition to the Château de Nages wines, the winery produces wines under the Lou Coucardié, Nostre Pais, and Les Cépages de Michel Gassier lines. Furthermore, wines labeled under Cercius are created in collaboration with winemaking consultant Philippe Cambie and U.S. importer Eric Solomon.
