Château Mourgues du Grès
Château Mourgues du Grès, Côtes du Rhône
COUNTRY
France
REGION
Rhône (South East)
GRAPE VARIETY
Syrah, Grenache, & occasionally Mourvedre depending on the vintage
The Collard family preside over the estate, located just 5 miles west of the River Rhône. The clay and limestone soils are covered with large flat sandstones known as ‘galets’ that reflect the sun’s heat up on to the vine, typical of the soils of Châteauneuf Pape. Here though, despite being only a few miles away from that famous region, along with the dry cold Mistral (north wind), there is also the moderating sea wind that cools the vines on summer nights.
This climate and minerality contributes to the balance of the wine.

Fleur d'Eglantine owes its name to its delicate color, similar to that of the petals of the wild roses bordering the vines. Floral notes of Peony and red berries balanced with the minerality of the galet stones and a hint of sea salt
