Domaine Grange des Moines Costieres de Nimes Organic Biodynamic 2016 750ml

Chateau Beaubois is a 60-hectare estate in Costières de Nîmes run by fourth generation brother and sister Fanny and François Boyer. The entire estate is certified organic and farmed Biodynamically and the wines are produced to vegan standards. The history of viticulture at the historic Domaine Grange des Moines dates back to the 13^th century when Cistercian monks first planted vines there.

The 2016 Domaine Grange des Moines Costières de Nîmes is composed predominantly of Syrah and a smaller percentage of Grenache and Marselan. With a few years of age, the wine has evolved gorgeously into an elegant expression of savory dark fruits and earthy complexity. In the glass, notes of violets, black pepper, damp earth, forest fruit and autumn leaves appear with just a touch of delicious funkiness. Enjoy this wine with earthy root vegetables, roasted meats and wild game.
