Costières de Nîmes

Producers and Wine Reviews about the "Costières de Nîmes AOP" Show in wein.plus:places

Appellation for red, rosé and white wines in the east of the French wine-growing region of Languedoc, south of the city of Nimes. Although the area is still geographically located in the Languedoc, it has belonged to the Rhône wine-growing region since 2004, as the wines are more typical of the region (the AOC Clairette de Bellegarde enclave, however, belongs to the Languedoc). The area formerly known as "Costières du Gard" was renamed in 1989 to avoid confusion with the IGP Gard. The vineyards cover 4,600 hectares of vines on thick gravel soils in 24 communes in the Gard department.
