COSTIÈRES DE NÎMES, LUBERON, VENTOUX – THREE WINE REGIONS WITH A DIFFERENCE BY FLORIAN GLEMOT DIPWSET PHOTOGRAPHS: COURTESY OF THE ESTATES Located in the southern Rhone, the Costières de Nîmes, Luberon and Ventoux appellations share an ancient tradition of winegrowing that dates back to Antiquity. Situated within wildlife sanctuaries where conservation of biodiversity is key, they offer visitors both spectacular scenery and a distinctly Mediterranean, laid-back lifestyle, all of which is generously encapsulated in their wines. We have selected six wineries that stand out for the quality of their wines in order to turn the spotlight on the common traits between the three appellations, but also what makes them unique. SET BETWEEN THE LAVENDER AND THE PINE GROVES, THE VINEYARDS AT DOMAINE DE TARA BASK IN A VERY SUNNY PROVENCAL CLIMATE 26 AUTUMN 2022 • GILBERT & GAILLARD - THE FRENCH EXPERTS ON WINE
RHÔNE VALLEY IDENTITY DOMAINE MOURGUES DU GRÈS HAS CREATED A FUN TOUR OF THE VINEYARDS SO THAT VISITORS CAN GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF ITS HISTORY AND DIVERSITY T he Southern Rhone is internationally renowned for its full-bodied, generous, predominately Grenache noir-based red wines. Their flagship is without doubt Châteauneuf-du- Pape, with numerous other Rhone appellations in its wake. These include the most southerly of them all, Costières de Nîmes, which forms a bridge between the Provence side of the Rhone and Languedoc. The Luberon, flirting with northern Provence, stands out for its predominant share of fresh, delicate rosés whilst Ventoux, the most northern of the three appellations, produces twice the amount of wines as the first two. The three appellations bask, broadly speaking, in a Mediterranean climate, often buffeted by the dry and relatively cool Mistral wind, a welcome ally for combatting fungal diseases. At the same time, they are also home to specific micro-climates, from which stem some of their unique characteristics. Washed down by the Rhone from the Alps and the Massif Central during the Ice Age, the pebbles typical of the appellations lining the river allow the soil to store heat, promoting berry ripening. The pebbles, which are an iconic feature of the Rhone Valley, also provide drainage and help retain moisture deep in the subsoil, which is generally clay-limestone. This simplistic description, however, fails to do justice to the immense variety of soil types and textures, exposures and altitudes, formed by the countless geological upheavals that have shaped the landscape of the Rhone Valley. This undoubtedly diversifies the style of the wines. One last point is that, although the three appellations are geographically close, they each come with their own history and culture. From Provence to Languedoc and the Alpine foothills to the Mediterranean, this climatic, geological and cultural diversity has led each wine region to develop in a different way, mirroring their respective wine styles.
