What reviewers say
“Pretty salmon color. Fairly basic nose, similar to a crisp Riesling but with a hint of strawberries, peaches and cream. In the mouth this just explodes: tropical blossoms, tart raspberries, mineral, and a creamy smoothness that keeps its strong acid from becoming annoying.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
From Costières-de-Nîmes in France, Château Virgile Costières de Nîmes Rosé is a rosé. At $107 for the lowest 750 ml listing, it belongs to the $60–120 band. It blends Grenache Noir and Shiraz Syrah.
207 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 212 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 2,009 other rosés from France, not against the corpus as a whole.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Château Virgile Costières de Nîmes Rosé lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Rosé · France (2,010 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 207.
