A delightful wine from the Costières de Nîmes region by Château d'Or et de Gueules: a sunny, full-bodied, and silky-smooth red wine, in which the fruit comes through elegantly.
 
This red cuvée, “Les Cimels,” a blend of Syrah (60%), Carignan (20%), and Grenache (20%), boasts a brilliant purple color. The nose is particularly expressive, characterized by notes of violets and licorice, accompanied by lush fruit. On the palate, the wine is fresh, round, and full-bodied, with a lovely flavor and remarkably fine, silky-smooth tannins. It is approachable while retaining a beautiful structure. It can be enjoyed now and will develop harmoniously for about 5 years.
