Château Mourgues du Grès - South of France
Originality and quality of the wines
|
| |
The appellation of the "Costières de Nîmes" is constituted of a soil composed of pebbly alluvium of the Quaternary coming from the Alps and the Central Massif. It corresponds to the part before the Rhone glacier from where its attachment to the Vineyard of the Rhone Valley. |
|
The Rhone, situated a few kilometres away, shaped the pebbly soils of the Quaternary. An exceptional soil of pebbles (sandstone) based on chalky-clayey marls results from it.
|
|
|
Conversely, in summery period, the roots are going to draw freshness and humidity in depth - from where the balance of wines on drier and hotter vintages. A the time of important storms, as there in our Mediterranean region, the soils of very filterable sandstone get dry quickly.
|
|
|
The localization of the estate, on small hills and plateau, gives very various soils with:
- chalky-clayey marls more present on the small hills of the "Terre d’Argence"
- large pebbles omnipresent on the plateau
- colluvions with more filtering sandy soils at the bottom of the small hills
- some chalky soils of the Cretaceous for a “cooler" soil
|
|
|
This variety of soils permits to bring different wine expressions which are going to be completed at the time of the blending. They permit to sign the originality of the wines of the CHATEAU MOURGUES DU GRES.
