In order to update the Rhone Valley article and to expand this stub on Costières de Nîmes, I've been asked to find out when, and why, Costières de Nîmes was 'officially' incorporated into the VDR (Vallée du Rhône) appellations. I have exhausted all my sources and I can't contact some of the organisations direct (I live in Thailand). If anyone can add this information, please do. Kudpung (talk) 09:30, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

This page is not a stub anymore as it is probably almost as complete as an entry for a wine needs to be. Kudpung (talk) 17:51, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Bonjour,

En réponse à votre question, l’AOC costières de Nîmes n’a pas été cédé à la région RHONE.

L’AOC Costières de Nîmes a été crée en 1986.

En 1989, les producteurs de cette appellation représentés par le syndicat des producteurs de Costières de Nîmes ont souhaité être rattaché aux AOC de la Vallée du Rhône.

Cette décision s’est prise parce que cette appellation avait des terroirs et une typicité de vins plus proche des AOC de la Vallée du Rhône que de ceux du Languedoc. (Elle a plusieurs communes en commun avec l’AOC Côtes du Rhône).

Sincèrement,

Jérôme VILLARET Directeur Service Economique & Administration Générale INTER RHONE 6 rue des trois faucons 84024 Avignon cedex 1 tel : 04 90 27 24 05 fax : 04 90 27 24 38 email : jvillaret@inter-rhone.com
