Château De La Gardine Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvee Tradition Rouge is a wine that symbolises concentration. Its deep purple colour invites you into the nose of vivid dark fruits, exotic spices and cocoa aromas. There is a marriage of the power of liquorice to the delicacy of violets. There are plenty of silky tannins on the palate, giving structure to the meaty, dark fruit and indicating a bright future.

Château De La Gardine's Cuvée Tradition red Châteauneuf Du Pape is grown in vineyards with four different soil types, each providing the wine with distinctive characters. Soils with many large, round, flat pebbles, known as "galets" give wines with body and structure; Urgonian limestone supplies balancing minerality; and brown soils and sandy soils produce wines of finesse and elegance. Portions of the wine are aged in stainless steel and old oak barriques for anywhere from nine to fourteen months.

OUR GROWERS

Château De La Gardine

The Brunel Family has been making wines in the Southern Rhône Valley since 1670, but their journey in Châteauneuf du Pape began in the middle of the 20th century. Since then, four generations have lived and worked in Château de la Gardine, steadily increasing the size of the estate. In 1963, the family acquired 47 additional hectares in Rasteau and Côtes-du-Rhône Villages. Then, in 1998, they acquired the 45-hectare Château Saint-Roch in Lirac. They have since returned to their négociant heritage with the Brunel De La Gardine collection, selecting the best grapes from a range of Southern and Northern Rhône appellations. The family blends and matures the wines, respecting the tradition and the typicity of each terroir. The Brunels strive to ensure that each of their wines are a testimony to their designation as well as an embodiment of their family values: quality, authenticity and a deep respect for the environment.
