A bold and aromatic Rhône Cru. Ripe red and black fruit, warming spice, and velvety structure. Generously expressive now, with complexity that evolves beautifully with time.

This Grenache‑Syrah blend (75 % / 25 %) pours rich and inviting. On the nose: elegant red and black fruit layered with violet, liquorice, prune, dates, and leather (full-bodied and nuanced). The palate unfolds juicy and smooth, with refined structure and polished tannins. Drinkable now, yet capable of aging 5–7 years. Additional tasting notes highlight succulent red and black fruits, cocoa and mocha undertones.
Rooted in the rugged terroir of Rasteau, where brown limestone soils, skeletal marl, and red sandstone lend character, this wine reflects its environment in depth and complexity. The Brunel family, stewards since 1963, handle production with care: grapes are harvested, fermented in stainless steel, and aged in concrete tanks to accentuate freshness and purity.
Serve at around 16 °C. A fantastic match for duck confit, roasted quail with balsamic glaze, grilled red meats, hearty stews, or even chocolate-forward desserts, for a balanced, gratifying pairing.

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.
