Terroir, Winemaking and Ageing

Terroir

Located in the Gard region, in the heart of the AOC Côtes du Rhône, the vineyard is rooted in a clay-limestone soil covered with rolled pebbles, inherited from an ancient Rhône riverbed. The powerful Mediterranean mistral naturally purifies the vines and promotes a slow and regular ripening of the grapes.

Planting density: 4,000 vines/ha | Controlled yield: 45 hl/ha | Average age of vines: 30 years.

Winemaking & Ageing

Mechanical harvesting with plot selection, at perfect ripeness. Temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the purity of the fruit and fine tannins.

12 months' ageing before bottling for beautiful aromatic expression and a harmonious structure.

Grape varieties

Grenache Noir (60%)
The power and generosity of Grenache form the gourmet base of the blend. Aromas of black cherry, tobacco, chocolate, mocha, and white pepper. Adds roundness, warmth, and velvety texture.

Syrah (30%)
An iconic grape variety of the Côtes du Rhône, Syrah brings a spicy framework, notes of violet and black fruits, as well as good ageing potential.

Mourvèdre (5%)
Full-bodied and tannic, it enhances structure and complexity, contributing to the wine's ageing ability.

Marselan (5%)
Thanks to its richness in polyphenols, it intensifies the colour and adds an extra aromatic touch to the whole.

Serving & Storage

Serving temperature: 16-18°C to express its full aromatic complexity.

Ageing potential: 5 to 7 years. This 2023 vintage, made from healthy grapes harvested at full ripeness, already offers beautiful expression and will evolve with elegance.

Decanting: Recommended 30 minutes before serving to open up the aromas and soften the palate.

Food & wine pairings:

  • Traditional cuisine: Provençal daube, moussaka, roast lamb shoulder with thyme, grilled meats
  • Vegan cuisine: Vegetable tagine, lentil curry, stuffed mushrooms, grilled aubergine, roasted vegetables with herbs
  • Cheeses: Hard cheeses, tomme, aged vegan alternatives

This vegan wine naturally adapts to vegetarian and vegan tables without any compromise on quality.

Concours Général Agricole de Paris 2024 — Silver Medal

(Vintage 2023) — National recognition for the balance, fine tannins, and aromatic intensity of this organic Côtes du Rhône red.

Guide Hachette 2024 - 2 stars - Remarkable Wine

Vintage 2021 - Unavailable - Sold out due to its success

The subtle and spontaneous nose is marked by crunchy red fruits, with a garrigue (thyme, sage) background. A fresh attack, with bright fruitiness (cherry), introduces a full and generous palate, with mellow accents of liquorice and built around a perfectly integrated tannic structure. Complex and well-crafted, it should gain even more harmony after some time in the cellar.

When is it recommended to drink Château Des Coccinelles 2021 red?
This wine should preferably be enjoyed between 2024 - 2027.

At what temperature is it recommended to drink Château Des Coccinelles 2021 red wine?
We recommend serving this wine at a temperature between 14 to 16 °C.

Guide Hachette 2021 - 1 star - Very successful wine

2019 vintage - Unavailable - A victim of its own success

A regular in the Guide, the estate stands out with this 2019 aged in stainless steel tanks. Behind a purple colour, a slightly animal nose first reveals itself, then, after aeration, releases notes of fresh red fruits, with redcurrant at the forefront. The still firm tannins are destined to meld into a body that has enough substance and fruit. A short cellaring period is necessary.

When is it recommended to drink Château Des Coccinelles 2019 red?
This wine should preferably be enjoyed between 2021 - 2024.

At what temperature is it recommended to drink Château Des Coccinelles 2019 red wine?
We recommend serving this wine at a temperature between 14 and 16 °C.

Ethics & Quality

A certified organic and vegan Côtes du Rhône Red

This vegan red wine embodies the alliance between qualitative standards and ethical commitment. Certified Organic and produced without any animal-derived ingredients, it is for wine lovers who want to reconcile pleasure with respect for living beings.

What is vegan wine?

Vegan wine is produced without animal-derived products during clarification. No egg whites, gelatine, or fish glue: clarification is achieved through plant-based solutions (bentonite, pea proteins), ensuring a 100% plant-based wine from vine to glass.

A Côtes du Rhône with a strong identity

Originating from a clay-limestone terroir swept by the Mistral wind, this Côtes du Rhône red offers a full-bodied palate, silky tannins, and aromas of red and black fruits. Its Silver Medal at the Concours Général Agricole de Paris 2023 confirms its status as a wine with character.

Aromatic Profile

The expressive blend of four Rhône grape varieties

This red Côtes du Rhône wine derives its personality from a typical Rhône blend: Grenache Noir (60%), Syrah (30%), Mourvèdre (5%), and Marselan (5%).

Grenache provides generosity and roundness with notes of black cherry, tobacco, and mocha. Syrah brings its spicy framework and dark fruits. Mourvèdre solidifies the structure, while Marselan intensifies the colour and aromatic complexity of the whole.

Inclusive food & wine pairings

Traditional cuisine: Provençal daube, moussaka, roasted lamb with thyme, grilled meats.

Vegan cuisine: Vegetable tagine, lentil curry, stuffed portobello mushrooms, grilled aubergine with olive oil and herbes de Provence, chili sin carne.

Serve between 16 and 18°C. Its 12-month ageing gives it supple tannins and an immediate fruity expression with good ageing potential of 5 to 7 years.

Organic Commitment

Château des Coccinelles, organic viticulture pioneer since 1978

Château des Coccinelles is one of a very small circle of the first French wineries to obtain organic certification as early as 1978.

A history of conviction, not fashion

Driven by the desire to preserve his vines and his environment, René Fabre joined the Nature & Progrès Association in 1974. Together, they drafted one of the first organic specifications validated by the Ministry of Agriculture, making the estate a true pioneer of Organic Farming in France.

Our commitment: Zero synthetic pesticides, zero chemical fertilisers, no animal products in the cellar. Respect for the natural balance of the Gard's clay-limestone soils is at the heart of our philosophy for producing authentic, expressive, and responsible organic and vegan wines.

Château des Coccinelles — Organic and Vegan ahead of its time since 1978

At Château des Coccinelles, organic viticulture is not a fad: it has been ingrained in the estate's DNA since 1978. Our vines, averaging 30 years old, grow without pesticides or chemical fertilisers on stony clay-limestone soils typical of the Gard Rhodanien region.

This commitment naturally extends to the cellar, where we produce organic and vegan red wines without any animal-derived ingredients. Each bottle expresses a modern and responsible vision of wine: faithful to the terroir, respectful of living things, and intensely delicious.

Frequently Asked Questions — Château des Coccinelles Organic Côtes du Rhône Red

How does this Organic Côtes du Rhône Red differ from a classic Côtes du Rhône?

This organic red wine benefits from a high-quality clay-limestone soil on an ancient Rhône riverbed, with certified organic viticulture since 1978 and precise cellar work.

Controlled yields (45 hl/ha) and parcel selection allow for superior aromatic concentration and finer tannins. The blend of four grape varieties—Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Marselan—provides an additional complexity rarely found in entry-level Côtes du Rhône wines.

Its vegan certification and the estate's pioneering history make it a committed, natural, and high-quality choice.

Why a four-grape blend for this Côtes du Rhône red?

The blend of Grenache (60%) + Syrah (30%) + Mourvèdre (5%) + Marselan (5%) reflects the richness of the indigenous grape varieties of the Southern Rhône.

Grenache brings roundness and fruit, Syrah structure and spice, Mourvèdre enhances ageing potential, and Marselan intensifies colour and complexity. This quartet creates an elegant balance between power, freshness, and deliciousness, suitable for both meat dishes and spicy vegan meals.

How long can this Organic Côtes du Rhône Red be kept?

The 2023 vintage is characterised by its early ripeness due to exceptionally mild winter and spring conditions, resulting in healthy grapes harvested at full maturity. The outcome is a balanced, expressive, and palatable wine, accessible now.

Estimated ageing potential: 5 to 7 years. Stored on its side, away from light in a cool place (12-15°C), it will develop secondary aromas of leather, spices, and undergrowth over time.

What is a vegan wine and why is this Côtes du Rhône vegan?

A vegan wine is produced without any animal products, particularly during the clarification stage. Traditional methods use egg white, gelatine, or fish glue to remove suspended particles.

Our Organic Côtes du Rhône Red is clarified with plant-based agents (bentonite, pea proteins), guaranteeing a 100% plant-based wine from vine to glass. This ethical choice is consistent with our organic commitment since 1978: no animal products at any stage of production.

What vegan dishes to pair with this organic red wine?

This vegan red wine pairs beautifully with plant-based cuisine rich in umami flavours and spices: root vegetable tagine (carrots, turnips, chickpeas), hearty lentil curry, chili sin carne, vegetarian moussaka, herb and nut-stuffed portobello mushrooms, oven-roasted vegetables (peppers, aubergines, courgettes, sun-dried tomatoes).

Its spicy notes and supple tannins enhance dishes made with legumes and tender vegetables. Ideal serving temperature: 16-18°C.
