The Chusclan region is on the right bank of the Rhône and has a tributary, the Cèze, flowing through it. 2019 Château Cambis has mellow aromas of dried fruits, figs and raisins with black treacle. It is medium bodied with fresh red fruit characters on the palate and a sour cherry finish. The Rieu-Verdier family farm is 30 hectares of vineyards planted on stony clay limestone hillsides.
Domaine Passion des Dames AOP Cotes du Rhone Villages Plan de Dieu
Medium to full bodied, this wine is structured yet supple with good mid-palate fruit and flavours of crushed raspberries, strawberries, mint and soft leather. Plan de Dieu is a zone which includes several villages with the name referring to the plain on which they are located. The estate was previously the property of a religious order of nuns.
Caveau et Millas AOP Costieres de Nimes
Meaty aromas with rosemary and wet stone characterize this red from Costières de Nîmes – the most southern wine region of the Rhône Valley. High in alcohol, it has a sweet character with mixed and cooked-fruit flavours. The eye-catching label shows the eye of a crocodile, an official symbol for Nîmes. Crocodile bronze coins were minted by the Romans from 28 BCE.
