Château de La Gardine
Château de la Gardine is a historic estate in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation in the Rhône Valley. Château de la Gardine is a family estate bought in 1943 by Gaston Brunel, who has continued to develop it ever since. Today, his sons, led by Patrick Brunel , oversee the vineyard's development, which now covers 54 hectares in a single block!

The vines of Château de la Gardine, , whose exposure varies from due south to south-east, are rooted in a diversity of soils characteristic of the cru (rolled pebbles, limestone debris) and overlook the Rhône Valley. The vineyards are carefully tended, with no concessions to yields. Rigorous plot selection, manual harvesting and traditional vinification, combined with barrel ageing, ensure that Château de la Gardine 's different cuvées reflect the unique soul of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape terroir.

Note : Bettane & Desseauve 14,5/20
"The nose is dense, smoky, very ripe, with black olive accents. The texture on the palate is compact, still tight with powerful tannins". (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2014). A full, unctuous Rasteau, with harmonious fruit and fine balance. A great success!

"Dense and tannic on the palate, very full-bodied, with very expressive black fruit notes, the wine appears to be of great intensity and certainly of great potential." (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2009 Bettane & Desseauve). A cuvée full of finesse, far from body-built wines, 100% Mourvèdre in an exceptional 2005 vintage.

A sulphur-free cuvée specially developed in a spirit of low interventionism, in search of "free expression of the wine"! A vintage of character, with a long, structured finish.

Scores : RVF - Le Classement des Meilleurs Vins de France: 16.5/20
One of the two cuvées paying tribute to the ancestors who wrote the first pages of the domaine's history, made from the oldest vines with very low yields. With its delicate yellow-gold color, this vintage evokes honey and vanilla on a very mineral base.

Château de la Gardine - Châteauneuf-du-Pape Tradition 2007

Note: Guide RVF - Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2009: 15/20
This cuvée tradition, in the tradition of the previous vintage, already bears witness to Patrick Brunel's exceptional expertise. Despite its recent bottling, it's already proving to be perfect, in a superb 2007 vintage in the southern Rhône Valley! A beautifully rich wine to enjoy today.
