The Dupret family have been vine-growers for 6 generations. The family originally settled in Gallargues; but in 1994 moved the Domaine to Vauvert which is in the Languedoc-Rousillon region, between the cities of Nîmes and Montpellier and is situated in the heart of the “Petite Camargue.”
The vineyards are located are in the ‘valle du Vistre’ hence the name of the domaine. Here, the soils are a mix of clay, sand, gravel, silt and full of pebbles, rounded from thousands of years of overflowing waters from the Rhone river. This soil is perfect for varietals like Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah.

This is the beautiful baby brother of the always popular Gladiateur Costeres De Nimes. This Pays du Gard won our Rose blind tasting and we are so happy that its a producer we already work with that won the blind "reasonably" prices rose contest - what a pleasant surprise to add a wine from our friend Remy Dupret!

Cabernet - Pays d'Oc

This is a lush, juicy medium bodied 100% Cabernet from the south of France. Although many reds from the sunny South of France can achieve very high levels of alcohol this wine sits at relatively modest 13% and the wine is truly balanced. On the nose we are met with hints or licorce and black fruit. The wine is ripe, without being "jammy" not at all tannic this wine sees no oak and is bursting with blackberry jam, coffee/mocha and even a touch of mint. Delicious and a very versatile when pairing with foods.
