✨ Technical Specifications
Château Grand Escalion, nestled in the Costières de Nîmes appellation of the Southern Rhône, benefits from a Mediterranean climate and soils covered with 'gress'—distinctive rounded pebbles that store daytime heat. The 'Première Nature' cuvée is crafted as an organic, no-added-sulfur ('sans soufre ajouté') red wine, designed to showcase the purest expression of the fruit. This natural approach yields a wine rich in vibrant dark berry flavors, wild garrigue herbs, and supple tannins, embodying a modern commitment to environmental harmony and authentic terroir expression.
