Note di degustazione
A blend 35% Grenache, 25% Carignan, 20% Mourvèdre, 15% Cinsault & 5% Syrah, the barrel aged 2010 Michel Gassier Costières-de-Nîmes Nostre Pais is brilliant! Showing uncommon purity and elegance, as well as a rich, full-bodied texture and mouth feel, this has layers of blackberry, licorice, spring flowers, leather, and hints of chocolate all soaring from the glass. Dense and concentrations, this serious effort has the texture to shine now, yet also the balance and purity to evolve for 5-7 years. The quality to price ratio here is something, so do not miss this wine!

The sexy, medium to full-bodied 2010 Nostre Pais Rouge exhibits velvety tannins along with copious garrigue, lavender, licorice, black currant, cherry, kirsch and spice box characteristics. This luscious, fruit forward, undeniably seductive red is composed of 35% Grenache, 25% Carignan, 20% Mourvedre, 15% Cinsault and 5% Syrah. Aged six months in French oak, mostly on its lees, the price point is ridiculous for a wine of this quality. It is best drunk over the next 1-2 years.

The 2010 Costieres de Nimes Chateau de Nages Nostre Pais (35% Grenache, 25% Carignan, 20% Mourvedre and the rest Cinsault and Syrah – all five permitted varietals of the appellation) comes from some of the estate’s oldest parcels. Its dense purple color is followed by garrigue, smoke, chocolate, blackberry, strawberry and cherry aromas. Ripe, full-bodied and voluptuously textured with decent acidity, it should drink nicely for 5-6 years. (Not yet released) For four generations, the Gassier family has been working in the Costieres de Nimes, and Michel Gassier and his American wife are the most recent proprietors of these biodynamically farmed vineyards. Gassier has quickly become a reference point for what can be achieved in this area just south of Chateauneuf du Pape. This 175-acre estate also produces some terrific white wines as well as a handful of other reds that I have reviewed previously. They should not be missed!
