Infinity Imports is proud to introduce our exclusive portfolio of French wines. This portfolio includes wines specially selected for their outstanding quality. We work closely with small producers who still produce hand crafted wines. Our goal is to showcase the “independent vigneron”, which will help to sustain the historic and traditional methods of the winemaking process from grape to bottle. These wines are brandishing examples of the terroir and individual winemaking style.

“…is one of the best of an appellation already known for its frequency of such amazing value. Saffron, clover, honeysuckle, orange zest, and sea breeze in the nose lead to a luscious, bright, exuberantly juicy palate..Keep some of this handy..” Robert Parker

90 points Wine Spectator

The wine undergoes 100% stainless steel fermentation with several months on the lees before racking and bottling. This process shows the uniqueness of this grape varietal grown at particularly high elevation, expressing the unique clay and limestone soils of the appellation. Soft and lush with hints of honey, citrus peel, with a touch of stone fruit balanced with crisp acidity.

Grenache, Lladoner Pelut, Mourvedre, and Syrah.

Alluvial and post oceanic soils contribute to the character of this rich red by wine maker Rémi Bonnet. Resin and tar are layered with cardamom- and white pepper-tinged black fruits mark this pungent and robust blend.

Nose: Dominant blackcurrant and other red summer berries
Palate: Concentrated and well balanced with expression and lingering fruits

The red wines destined for bottles come from grapes that are picked at full maturity and then given long vinification in vats that provide good concentraton of flavour and smooth tanins. Keeping the wines exclusively in the vats allows them to retain their natural elegance and fully express their bouquet of berry fruits and confit acquired through their long maturation.

Château Virgile, Costières de Nîmes Rosé 2008
Costières de Nîmes

In 2008 Serge and Thierry decided to use a slightly higher percentage of Grenache in their rosé. This blend gives the wine a beautiful deep icy-pink color. The nose is dominated by red raspberry and strawberry fruit aromas. The palate is mouth-coating with raspberry and cherry fruit flavors. The finish is vibrant, bright, and refreshing. This is beautifully balanced rosé, perfect for a multitude of occasions. Château Virgile, Costières de Nîmes Rosé 2008. Grenache 60% Syrah 40%
