Domaine Gassier, Nostre Pais White, Costières de Nîmes, Rhône, France, 2019

Overview the Wine
Domaine Gassier is the result of a shared passion between Tina and Michel Gassier. Located at the tail-end of the Rhône Valley, their vineyards face the marshes of Camargue and the Mediterranean Sea. They have a Rhône Terroir under maritime influence, situated in the southernmost Rhône appellation: Costières de Nîmes. Gassier vineyards have been organic certified since 2008 and are now transitioning towards regenerative farming.

They believe in minimal intervention to enhance freshness, balance, and minerality.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
The pale yellow color, tinted in green, announces a wine with a great deal of freshness and purity. The complex nose reveals floral and mineral notes with accents of fresh citrus fruits. Lively and fresh, the aromas of flowers and white fruits, blends with flint. The very soft finish evinces a great deal of minerality.

92 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
Notably richer and deeper, the 2019 Costières de Nîmes Nostre Païs Blanc reveals a vivid gold color as well as a honeyed nose of tangerine, apricot, peach, and white flowers. With medium to full-bodied richness, a beautifully balanced, elegant texture, and a solid spine of acidity, this is another terrific white from this team that has loads to love.

91 Points - Wine Enthusiast 
Bright yellow-plum and pear flavors are leesy and silken on the palate of this full-bodied yet fresh blend of Grenache Blanc (53%), Clairette (22%) and Viognier (11%). It's a pure-fruited dry white anchored by crisp lemon acidity and a finish dusted with hints of white pepper and nutmeg. At peak now, the wine is likely to hold through 2025

91 Points - Wine Spectator
Inviting, with a shortbread note leading off, followed by verbena, white peach and star fruit flavors. Offers a caressing feel along with good brightness and zip. Tasty. Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Viognier and Roussanne.
