Tasting notes

Deep ruby in colour with violet hints, this wine opens with ripe cherries, sun-drenched raspberries, and peppery herbs, complemented by floral overtones and subtle smoky spice. On the palate, it’s medium‑full bodied, juicy yet structured, with fine, velvety tannins and a long, pure finish.

Crafted by the Brunel family, whose winemaking roots stretch back to the 17th century, this cuvée is a blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, and a touch of Muscardin, grown on classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape terroirs of galets roulés, limestone, and sandy-clay soils, with vines aged 40–60 years.

The grapes are hand‑harvested and vinified with care, extended skin contact, malolactic in concrete, and matured in used oak for around 14 months, yielding a wine of elegance, structure, and longevity.

Serve at 16–18 °C (decant if possible). This expressive red complements roasted lamb, game dishes, mushroom ragout, or aged hard cheeses with depth and finesse.

Discover

The winemaking tradition of the Brunel family goes back to the 17th century. Gaston Brunel, a famous négociant, acquired the Château de la Gardine in Châteauneuf du Pape in 1945. The estate is now run by his two sons Patrick and Maxime, their wives Eve and Maryse, three of his grandchildren Marie-Odile, Philippe and Laure and two of his great-grandchildren Guillaume and Thibault.

The estate spreads over 52 ha of vineyards (48 ha of red and 4 ha of white) and 20 ha of forests, all gathered around the property. The domaine is famous for the quality of their wines and for the iconic Gardine bottle.

Château de la Gardine have always been very respectful of the planet. They have long used organic fertilizer, encouraged biodiversity (20 ha of forest, apicultural set-aside areas, insect houses) and use controlled weeding.
