A terroir and a unique nature

« The vineyard of Château Beaubois is located in the southern Rhone Valley in the appellation Costieres de Nimes, midway between Nimes and the Mediterranean Sea. »

EXECEPTIONAL TERROIR
BETWEEN CAMARGUE AND CEVENNES

A unique terroir

Overhanging the Scamandre pond in the petite Camargue, this magnificent area is in a Natura 2000 zone, just 10 M of altitude.

Fanny and François are attached very early to the idea of preserving this environment.

The terroir is composed of pebbles which are detached from the Haut Brianconnais in the Alpes during the Quaternary.

The Rhone and the Durance have transported those pebbles to the first exposures of the sea.

Stony soil "Gress"

The characteristic of the superb terroir is the sum of many factors:

The soils are made up of pebbles, the oldest element in the appellation that plays an accelerator role for heating up (Cailloutis Villafranchien originated from Durancienne and Rhôdanienne, eroded and colluvial deposit)
The Mistral has a positive influence over our terroir; its character as a “lifesaver” is well known especially by limiting the effects of disease.
Being as close as it is, the thermal winds from the Mediterranean Basin refreshes the vineyard during the hottest hours in summer. This feature is so important that it distill the freshness in all the wines of Chateau Beaubois.
The red and white grape varieties represent a real Rhone feature.

The zone of Camargue and petite Camargue provides wonderful wild landscapes. Ponds, reed beds and biodiversity form a triptych of splendors.
It is teeming with tourist routes…
