Costières de Nîmes is at the southern end of the Rhône valley on the border to Languedoc. The modified rules for white CdN wine declares: Permitted grape varieties are Clairette, Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc, Ugni Blanc, Roussanne, Vermentino, Macabeu, Marsanne and Viognier. Ugni Blanc must not exceed 30% and after 2010 it is no longer permitted (it is generally considered as a not very interesting variety). Viognier is limited to 10%. The wine must be a blend of at least two different grape varieties. The maximum yield “rendement de base” is 60 hl/ha.
