2012 TOP 50 WINES - Rank #43
The 2010 Michel Gassier Costières-de-Nîmes Nostre Pais is outstanding. Bringing really pretty notes of tropical fruits, fresh minerals, floral and even some citrus zest working it's way into the mix. This has a wonderful rich texture, but it is also vibrant, with lively acidity, amazing freshness and a mouth-watering finish. I would drink this blend of 90% Grenache blanc, 5% Roussanne and 5% Viognier sooner rather than later. (Drink 2012-2014) - May, 2012. (JD)
