TERRE DES CHARDONS "Bien Luné" - Biodynamics 2016 Terroir anchored between the vineyards of the Rhône and those of Languedoc, the Costière de Nîmes appellation covers an area of around 4,000 hectares in the north of the Camargue.

A family business, dynamic and innovative winegrowers, the Chardon family works with respect for nature by cultivating its vines biodynamically since the acquisition of land in 1999. The vines flourish in an ideal setting, on a plateau covered with rolled pebbles. , sunny and slightly windy.
A velvety wave filled with red fruits. A surge of sensations; delicate tannins with a crunchy palate. “Bien luné” is a subtle surprise, a find that deserves to be known! Named after a nod to the lunar calendar, this cuvée offers a pleasant, supple and fruity wine, to be drunk chilled or at room temperature in all seasons.
