Les Collines du Bourdic Les Vignes Création Gris de Gris
Les Collines du Bourdic Les Vignes Création Gris de Gris comes from the I.G.P. Cévennes and demonstrates how Grenache Gris in Southern France can produce a fresh, refined rosé style. What exactly does Gris de Gris mean? It is a rosé made from black or grey-pink grapes with light-coloured juice, resulting in an elegant colour and subtle fruit expression. This wine combines that light style with fresh spiciness and a distinct Mediterranean character.
Vineyards and Region
The grapes come from an area between Uzès and Nîmes, where Les Collines du Bourdic works with a large network of affiliated winegrowers.
-
Origin: The production area extends over 1,600 hectares and includes 10 municipalities between Uzès and Nîmes, in the south of France.
-
Cooperation: Les Collines du Bourdic is a cooperative of approximately 100 winegrowers who focus on healthy vineyards and consistent quality grapes.
-
Terroir Choice: Each winegrower plants grape varieties on the terroir most suitable for that variety, ensuring a good match between origin and grape.
-
Soil: The combination of clay and limestone gives the wine both freshness and a refined structure.
-
Sustainable Approach: Within the cooperative, there is clear attention to protecting the environment in which the vineyards are located.
This combination of terroir choice and a collective quality approach gives this Gris de Gris more precision than one would expect from a simple patio rosé.
Vinification and Aging
The vinification is deliberately aimed at freshness and pure fruit expression.
-
Grape Choice: This wine is made from 100% Grenache Gris, a grape that is perfectly suited for light, elegant rosé.
-
Aging: The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks, preserving its fresh character and subtle fruit notes.
-
Style: The choice of steel instead of wood keeps the wine crisp, clear, and immediately accessible.
-
Alcohol: At 12.5% alcohol, the wine remains smooth and balanced, without feeling heavy.
The vinification USP here lies precisely in its simple, pure character, as everything is aimed at highlighting Grenache Gris and fresh red fruit.
Grape Composition
Grenache Gris – Cévennes
Grenache Gris is a lesser-known variant within the Grenache family and often gives rosé a fine combination of subtle red fruit, light spiciness, and fresh tension.
Tasting Notes and Serving Suggestions
In the glass, this Gris de Gris shows a light, elegant colour reminiscent of a classic Provence rosé. The nose is subtle and opens with young red fruit such as strawberry and raspberry. On the palate, these same fruit notes are beautifully echoed, complemented by a light spiciness. The structure is smooth and fresh, making the wine immediately enjoyable. The finish remains lively and clean.
-
Serving Temperature: Serve this wine between 8–10 °C for the best expression of its fresh character and subtle red fruit.
-
Pairings: Excellent as an aperitif, but also with salads with fish or meat, light fish dishes, and BBQ dishes.
