Description
Marie Léoncie is a white Châteauneuf du Pape made from 90% Roussanne grapes, sourced from vines at least 60 years old, supplemented with 10% Clairette. The grapes come from chalky soils, and the vineyards are situated at an altitude of 40 to 100 meters, facing south and southwest. Harvest begins early, usually before September 15th, to preserve maximum freshness. The grapes are hand-picked and gently pressed. The grapes are vinified separately. Roussanne is fermented in 225-liter oak barrels. The wine is then aged in new oak barrels with regular bâtonnage (swinging of the yeast cells). This adds complexity and roundness to the wine. Malolactic fermentation does not take place. The wine is ready to drink, but can certainly be kept for up to 10 years - the wine then becomes rounder and creamier in taste and gets tertiary aromas (cinnamon, mushrooms, nuts).
Château de la Gardine is a well-known player in the wine world. For years, they have been internationally renowned for their terroir-inspired Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Their flagship wine, the Marie Léoncie, is a sparkling golden yellow in the glass, with a bouquet of aromas: mango, poached pear, honeysuckle, vanilla custard, and brioche.
This is an impressive wine whose aromas carry through to the rich flavor. Salty minerality, good acidity, and a lively finish.
A wonderful accompaniment to rich dishes such as lobster and turbot, and the winery recommends combining the Marie Léoncie with pan-fried foie gras and poached pear.
FACT: In the "Attachments" tab, you'll find the official fact sheet for this fine wine. We'll automatically send it to you when you order it.

De wijn heeft een mooie balans tussen frisse zuren en een rijke, volle smaak, versterkt door het rijpen in eikenhouten vaten. Deze wijn past perfect bij lichte, verfijnde gerechten zoals witte vis en kaasgerechten, vooral als ze bereid zijn met subtiele kruiden of gebakken in boter, en ook bij groenteschotels met een romige saus. Door de frisheid en de mineraliteit komt de wijn echt tot zijn recht bij gerechten die niet te zwaar zijn, en de extra rijping in de fles maakt hem nog romiger en aromatischer, wat mooi aansluit bij de zachte texturen van bijvoorbeeld gebakken foie gras of gepocheerde peer. |

From: Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2022: Bring It On (Jun 2024)
Blending 95% Roussanne with a jolt of Clairette, the 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Cuvée des Générations Marie-Léoncie aged for ten months in new oak barriques. Deep straw-colored, it unwinds with jasmine, yellow apple, cedar, white peach and a verbena tea splash. Rich and expressive, the 2022 concludes with persistence on the complex finish.

The Brunel family's winemaking tradition dates back to the 17th century. Gaston Brunel, a famous merchant, bought Château de la Gardine in Châteauneuf du Pape in 1945. The estate is now run by his two sons, Patrick and Maxime, with the help of their wives Eve and Maryse and their children Marie-Odile and Philippe. The estate extends over 52 hectares of vineyards (48 hectares red and 4 hectares white) and 20 hectares of woodland, all surrounding the property. The domain is known for the quality of their wines and the unique Gardine bottle. Today, about 70% of production is exported to about 30 countries.
In 1998, the Brunel family saw the potential of the terroir in Lirac. The family therefore also bought Château Saint Roch with 40 hectares of land in Roquemaure where a selection of red, white and rosé wines is produced. It is Eve Brunel, who is also the oenologist for both La Gardine and St Roch, who runs the estate. Robert Parker once said “Don't underestimate the potential of the Brunel family's Château Saint Roch in Lirac. They make wines of an excellent price-quality ratio."
Today, the Brunel family returns to the trading tradition with "Brunel de le Gardine". They offer a wide range of wines from the Northern and Southern Rhone. Patrick Brunel chooses the best wines from each appellation using his trusting relationships with top growers in the region. The family uses all their knowledge and experience to blend and mature the wines, respecting the tradition and the characteristics of each terroir. The quality packaging, with the special Gardine bottle, is the signature of this fine selection of wines.
The Gardine bottle, original and elegant, was created by spontaneous coincidence. When Gaston Brunel first wanted to expand his cellar and dig in the ground, he found a very old mouth-blown bottle. He liked the shape, so he decided to bottle all his wine in a similar bottle. At first he couldn't find a manufacturer in France who could reproduce this bottle, it was that special. He had them made in Italy. Since 1964, all Gardine wines have been bottled in the unique bottle.
