Domaine Diminoit
The 30 hectare estate is located between Nîmes and Arles, on the Costières plateau. Here 14 Mediterranean grape varieties have found perfect conditions to flourish on this beautiful soils of clay and limestone, covered with rolled river pebbles. The selection of grape variety was essential in order to give typicity and complexity to wines that the landlord and winemaker Dominique Linsolas defines as of feminine inspiration.
The modern cellar is equipped with stainless steel tanks of variable sizes, all temperature-controlled.
This equipment makes it possible to vinify each grape varieties separately in a plot selection process. The vineyard is made up of typical regional varieties such as Grenaches, Syrah, Marselan… But also of atypical grape varieties for this region such as Nielluccio, Viognier or Roussane that have found a terroir magnificently favorable to their development.
The result are wines of unusual blends for this region which are characterized by their delicate roundness, the elegant suppleness of their tannins and the natural expression of the fruit
