Region

IGP Coteaux de Pont du Gard Blanc

Winemaker notes

This IGP between Provence and Languedoc is located southern Uzès and North-East from Nîmes. The vineyard gather 19 villages of the Gard district, in Argillières and Cabrières area. Only 20 wineries are using this IGP.

Viticultural Notes

Certified organic. Soils are formed from Würmian and Holocene era alluvial deposits formed of sand and silt, close to the Rhône and Gard rivers. Grapes are machine harvested to preserve quality and prevent oxidation.

Vintage Notes

2016 Vintage: Like much of France, the vintage got off to a slow start, but the Southern Rhône was spared the devastating frosts that impacted many other regions throughout the country. Despite the gradual start to the growing season, warm weather arrived by summer and periodic rain storms kept drought stress at bay. Dry conditions continued through harvest, and temperatures began to cool off by mid September. Yields were generous and quality overall was very good. Wines are structured, with good concentration and fresh, fruit flavours.
