Detailed information
Vintage
Due to the high temperatures in July and August and very low rainfall, the harvest was started ten days later compared to 2018. Skins were thin and tannins very elegant, with notes of blackurrant and pepper. While the yields vary from plot to plot, the harvest on the estate was rather small overall. This vintage is dominated by aromatic concentration and purity of the fruit.

Château Grand Escalion
Located in Générac, south of the Roman city of Nîmes, Château Grand Escalion is an estate dating back to 1884. Since 2002, it has been managed by Maison Gabriel Meffre. The vineyard's 40 hectares are spread over a single area surrounding the estate and stretch across gentle slopes. The Château owes its name to the word “Escalion”, meaning “ascent” in Provençal. The Estate produces red, rosé and white Costières de Nîmes. The grape varieties and our terroir enable the vineyard manager, Nicolas Speranza, to capitalise on the great potential of the appellation by creating single-vineyard cuvées.
