Gard Ô Vin

3 place du Marché 30000 Nîmes

As the weather was nice that afternoon, we wanted to test the terrace of Gard Ô Vin , the new wine friendly address on the Place du Marché in Nîmes. And we took the opportunity to taste Costières de Nîmes. We tell you about it.

In the heart of Nîmes

The sign which, from the Place du Marché, directs us towards the old haunt of the antique dealers of Nîmes, lets the cat out of the bag: at Gard Ô Vin, we mix local wines and plates from Italy. The place: a wine bar which is also a delicatessen, unless it’s the other way around. With its sofas, its vaulted ceiling and its shelves full of books, the room feels like a cocoon. But as it’s sunny, we choose to sit on the terrace, sitting on large stools.

Marie et Rosanna

The French and the Italian. As they loved wine and eating well, and were not shy, they decided to create their own wine bar. We think it’s not a bad idea! Especially since they only sell what they like: no way they serve us something they wouldn’t eat. The bread comes from Les Halles like the weekend tiramisu, signed by an Italian caterer (Aux Pâtes Fraîches, we recommend it to you by the way). The cold meats and cheese arrive from Italy except the pélardon they go get from the Cévennes. be And the wine, as we told you, gives pride of place to the winegrowers of Costières de Nîmes.

On the plate and in the glass

Time to nibble on some borettane onions marinated in balsamic vinegar, we decide to test the Tradition cuvée from Château L’Ermitage in white and red, with a fresh salad with burrata and a bresaola carpaccio. Marie comments: “the white – grenache blanc, viognier and roussanne – is a 2014 with aromas of peach and lychee which offers a beautiful liveliness which will complement the salad well. The red – syrah, grenache, mourvèdre – is a 2013, with notes of blackberries, blackcurrant and spices that will be served chilled to prevent it from taking over the bresaola.” The result is definitely worth it, but we’ll let you discover that for yourself…
