Tasting note
"If you like Châteauneuf du Pape, I'm sure you'll love the gloriously rich, ripe Château La Tour de Beraud 2009 Costières de Nîmes." Fiona Beckett, Guardian, April 2011.
Vibrant spicy peppery nose and soft subtle fruit on the palate with good structure. Syrah provides colour, structure & finesse, the Carignan adds fruit flavours and the Grenache fills out and rounds off with another burst of soft fruit. Very moreish!

Wine note
Owned by Francois Collard this is a 30ha estate on south facing slopes. Named after the old fire tower from the 11th century which was constructed to prevent invasions from the sea.

Producer note: Chateau La Tour de Beraud
This is the sister property of Chateau Mourgues du Gres, also in Costieres de Nimes.
