Gassier Côtes du Rhône

A southern French red wine with substance: dark fruity, spicy and velvety on the palate — the ideal companion for rustic autumn cuisine.

Michel Gassier cultivates his vineyards around Nîmes in the western Rhône Delta. The region combines a Mediterranean climate with clay-limestone soils—a combination that produces red wines with natural ripeness and structure. Gassier stands for meticulous, artisanal winemaking in one of the most dynamic parts of the southern Rhône.

A deep, dark red in the glass. The nose opens with blackberry and black cherry, along with nuances of dark chocolate and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is full and velvety; the fruit carries it through the finish, which takes on a subtle peppery-spicy note from the Syrah component. The barrel aging gives the wine a smooth texture without masking the fruit.
