Information
About the producer

In 1999, Alsace winemakers, the Krydenweiss family bought Domaine des Perrières in the Gard, marking a turning point in their business. Having a particular interest in the Carignan grape, the family wanted to cultivate the varieties found in the Midi and to produce red wines in this fertile region far from their home region. Antoine Kreydenweiss has been running the family’s Alsace property in Andlau since 2007. He has taken the biodynamic and natural approaches introduced by his father even further, reducing or even doing away completely with sulphur additives in the wine.

About the wine

This cuvée is composed of equal proportions of Carignan, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre grapes from ideal red-wine producing soils rich in iron, Rhône pebbles, silica, limestone, flint, and sandstone. The domaine employs biodynamic methods and harvesting is therefore carried out by hand. The grapes are briefly macerated then fermented with natural yeasts. The wine is then aged partly in barrels and partly in wooden vats for a year. This Costières-de-Nîmes has intense floral aromas (lavender, violet) and is outstandingly silky. Enjoy its elegant subtlety and intense finish. A pleasing wine to drink within 10 years, which is an ideal pairing with a tasty charcuterie platter.
