Chateau De La Gardine Cotes Du Rhone Villages 2022

Château de La Gardine Côtes Du Rhône Villages 2022 is a structured, traditionally made red blend from the historic Brunel family, who are renowned for their expertise in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Often described as a "baby Châteauneuf-du-Pape," this wine is bottled in the estate's signature uniquely shaped bottle—a replica of an 18th-century design found on the property. The 2022 vintage presents a deep ruby robe with purple hues, leading to an intense nose of small black fruits, cherries, liquorice, and earthy mushroom notes. On the palate, it is generous and full-bodied with plush, ripe tannins and a long finish that balances rich fruit with subtle spices and wood smoke.
