Costeplane (domaine)

Information

Description

Located in the Languedoc region, 20 kilometres north-west of Nîmes and 40 kilometres north of Montpellier. Set between the Mediterranean and the Cevennes mountains, Le Mas de Costeplane enjoys a very sunny climate, often torrid in summer, with around a hundred nights of frost in winter. More than two kilometres from its nearest neighbours, the Mas and its vines are isolated in the middle of hills covered in garrigue, where pine trees, holm oaks and aromatic plants blend together.
Far from over-exploited vineyards where the vines run out and are uprooted after 20 years, the Mas de Costeplane vineyard currently comprises almost 24 hectares of vines. The oldest plot in operation is an old Carignan planted in 1958, pruned in goblet shape. So the lady is over 60 and still hasn't retired. It has to be said that she is pampered. Two other plots of Carignan on the estate are almost as old. They were planted in 1968, while the oldest parcel of Grenache dates back to 1970.
The rest of the vines are slightly more recent, planted between 1988 and 1995. They are therefore in their prime.
A total of seven grape varieties are grown: Vermentino, Grenache blanc and Chardonnay for the whites, Syrah, Grenache noir, Carignan and Merlot for the reds.
Each plot is vinified separately, and this diversity enables us to produce a wide range of wines with very individual characteristics when we blend them in February. AOP Languedoc white, rosé and red, for the parcels with the best exposure, and IGP Cévennes single-varietal wines (Merlot, Chardonnay and Vermentino).
