Château Vessière Philippe de Vessière Rouge is the pride of Château Vessière. The color is garnet red. Complex, rich aromas of tobacco, blueberry jam, blackberry, black pepper, licorice, cocoa and coffee. The surprising flavors reveal all the power and character of the fantastic terroir of Costières de Nîmes. This wine has a fruity character, is smooth and very aromatic. This wine goes particularly well with venison in sauce and poultry such as pheasant and wild duck breast.
This wine is a blend of 60% Syrah, 30% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre grapes, from clay and pebble soils. The grapes are picked overnight after which they are destemmed and placed in cement vats. A special feature of this cuvée is a long maceration of several weeks, including 10 days of maceration after fermentation, which gives the wine a complex and rich aroma. The wine is then aged in 2-year-old oak barrels. This wine will continue to develop for 7 to 10 years.
A delicious wine with stew, beef, poultry and venison steak.

Château Vessière is located in the heart of the Costières de Nîmes in the extreme south of the Rhone valley. The Château owns 65 hectares of vineyard. Located at the gates of the Camargue, the estate enjoys an exceptional terroir and climate. This beautiful property belonged to Mademoiselle Lucie de Vessière, who became Teulon's wife. The estate has since been passed down from generation to generation.
In 1975 Philippe Teulon took over the management after studying oenology at the Faculty of Sciences of Montpellier. Philippe is still on the estate every day and works closely with his son Vincent to develop fine and elegant organic wines, for which they receive numerous awards every year.
