Château Saint-Cyrgues
The southern vineyard of Château Saint Cyrgues is located near Nîmes, in Saint-Gilles. This place, rich in history, was on the route of many pilgrims on their way to Compostela or Jerusalem. It is located right on the site of the church of Saint Cirice des Marges. Vines have always been cultivated here and the wines from this vineyard have won several awards.
Vines from 1971 stand alongside those planted in 2014. Each generation contributes to the identity of Château Saint Cyrgues, giving it balance and consistency.
The estate may be over a hundred years old, but it is still in step with the times as it is now organically farmed.
The Château Saint Cyrgues estate is located in the south of France, near Nîmes. It overlooks the Petite Camargue, one of the most beautiful areas of France, and the Mediterranean Sea. The estate’s southern exposure ensures that the grapes ripen well, which gives the wine its robust and fine character.
Its geographical location makes it the southernmost vineyard in the Rhone Valley.
The Château Saint Cyrgues estate is located in the centre of the long Costières terrace (west-east), from Vauvert to Saint-Gilles. This south-facing terrace, whose altitude varies from 60 to 80 metres, is composed of pebbles and clay soils and is part of the southern Rhône Valley.
The estate has three appellations: ‘Costière de Nîmes’, ‘Vin de pays du Gard’ and ‘Vin de la vallée du Rhône’.
Our grape varieties are : Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Merlot, Marselan, Petit Verdot, Roussanne, Grenache blanc, Viognier, Muscat and Vermentino.
The terroir of rounded pebbles gives our wine texture, elegance and finesse. A careful blend of traditional grape varieties expresses fruitiness and roundness with great softness.
To preserve our fragile natural heritage and ensure the sustainability of our cultivation methods, Château Saint Cyrgues applies the philosophy of ‘organic farming’.
