Persoonlijke gegevens
De Marie Léoncie is a white Châteauneuf du Pape made from 90% Roussanne, sourced from vines at least 60 years old, supplemented with 10% Clairette. The grapes come from calcareous soils, and the vineyards are situated at an altitude of 40 to 100 meters, facing south and southwest. The harvest begins early, usually before September 15, to preserve maximum freshness. The grapes are hand-picked and gently pressed. The grapes are vinified separately. The fermentation of the Roussanne takes place in 225-liter oak barrels. Subsequently, the wine ages in new oak barrels with regular bâtonnage (stirring of the yeast cells). This adds complexity to the wine and makes it rounder in taste. No malolactic fermentation takes place. The wine is ready to drink, but can certainly be stored for up to 10 years – the wine will then become rounder and creamier in taste and develop 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-driven Châteauneuf-du-Pape. In the glass, their flagship wine, the Marie Léoncie, is sparkling golden yellow, with a succession of aromas on the nose: mango, poached pear, honeysuckle, vanilla custard, and brioche.
This is an impressive wine in which the aroma carries through into the rich taste. Salty minerality, good acidity, and a lively finish.
A great accompaniment to rich dishes, such as lobster and turbot, and the winery suggests pairing the Marie Léoncie with pan-fried foie gras and poached pear.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Deze rijke witte Châteauneuf-du-Pape toont sprankelend goudgeel kleur en een complex smaakpalet van mango en gepocheerde peer, bloemen van kamperfoelie, vanillecustard en brioche met een ziltige mineraliteit en frisse zuurgraad. Daardoor vormt hij een ideale partner voor gevogelte, witte vis, schelpdieren en belegen kazen omdat de romige houtopvoeding en levendige zuren zowel rijke boter- of roomsausjes als delicate zeevruchten tot hun recht laten komen. Kies voor gebakken of lichtgegrilde tarbot of kreeft met een botersaus, gebakken foie gras of gepocheerde peer voor maximale harmonie; bij vis werken korte grill- of bakbeurten met een frisse kruidensalsa of citrusvinaigrette extra goed. |

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.
