About Château Saint Cyrgues

The 40-hectare Chateau Saint Cyrgues is based in the village of Saint-Gilles in the Costieres de Nimes appellation and is run along organic lines by Guy de Mercurio. The region received full appellation status in 1986 and although notionally in the eastern Languedoc it shares the same terroir as the southern Rhone, i.e. galet stones and sandstone.
