The climate
The climate in the Costières de Nîmes is Mediterranean with continental influences. This results in warm, dry summers and mild winters, with abundant sunshine that ensures optimal grape ripening.
Additionally, the Mistral wind plays an important role: this cool, dry northern wind helps keep the vineyards dry, reducing the risk of disease and contributing to healthy grapes.
The terroir
The terroir is diverse, with soils primarily composed of poor sandy soils, red clay, and limestone, similar to the famous Châteauneuf-du-Pape. This soil structure provides excellent drainage while retaining heat, aiding grape ripening, especially during cooler nights. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 50 to 150 meters above sea level, creating a temperate microclimate.
