Description
This Côtes du Rhône Rouge from Château de la Gardine is a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, the trio that is also known as the GSM blend. The grapes come from various vineyards in the southern part of the Rhône. After the harvest, fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. The wine remains in contact with the skins for a long time to extract more color, flavor and structure. After fermentation, the wine matures for a few months in concrete tanks. The result is an accessible, fruity wine that can be used widely at the table!
In the glass, the Ch Gardine Brunel Cote du Rhone has a ruby red color with a purple glow. In the nose aromas of red fruit, herbs and sweet spices. In the mouth it is a fruity, supple wine with soft tannins. An accessible wine that appeals to everyone. The Brunel Côtes du Rhône Rouge from Château de la Gardine is delicious with a cheese board (brie, matured cheddar and epoisses). Also delicious with the BBQ, both grilled meat and grilled vegetables. The wine, like many red wines, should not be drunk too warm. 14-16℃ is perfect. Château de la Gardine is a well-known player in the wine world. For years they have been internationally known for their terroir-typed Châteauneuf-du-Pape. They carry the Rhône and Hermitage wines under Brunel de la Gardine

1. Grilled sausages with lentils and mustard vinaigrette
The hearty lentils and fatty meat complement the spicy and warm style of the wine. The mustard vinaigrette provides a fresh counterpoint that accentuates the fruit.
2. Ratatouille with thyme, rosemary and garlic
The classic Provencal flavours enhance the spicy notes in the wine, while the roasted vegetables provide depth and structure that pair well with the soft tannin profile.
3. Oven-baked chicken with peppers, onions and olives
The juicy meat and Mediterranean herbs perfectly match the warm character of the wine. The salty olives give an extra layer that supports the wine nicely.
4. Tagliatelle with mushrooms, Parmesan and sage butter
The earthy mushrooms and spicy sage reflect the complexity of the wine, while the cheese and butter provide a creamy mouthfeel that complements the wine's structure.
5. Wild boar stew with juniper berries and bay leaf
The deep, spicy flavour of the game and the aromatic spices bring out the dark fruit and spiciness of the wine, with a balanced intensity.
6. Roasted duck breast with fig compote and parsnip puree
The juicy duck complements the roundness of the wine, while the figs and parsnip provide sweet and earthy accents that enhance the fruity and spicy character of the wine.

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.
