Description
The label refers to a 1953 tractor, the first wheeled tractor used in the Château de la Gardine vineyards, which worked for hundreds of hours with Maxime Brunel aboard. Today, the tractor is still in operation and visible at the winery. The wine is made using traditional vinification methods in stainless steel and concrete tanks to fully express the fruit. To fully appreciate the fruity aromas, this wine is best aged in its youth (within two to three years).
The Brunel de la Gardine Maxime Côtes-du-Rhône is a fruity wine made from organically grown grapes, with aromas of red fruit and a hint of red pepper. It can be enjoyed lightly chilled (14g) on warm summer days. It pairs well with a summer barbecue with meat, tapas, or dishes with tomato sauce, such as pizza. Château de la Gardine is a well-known player in the wine world. For years, they have been internationally renowned for their terroir-specific Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Their Rhône and Hermitage wines are branded as Brunel de la Gardine.
WINE AND FOOD SUGGESTIONS:
Roasted chicken with rosemary and garlic
The succulent chicken and Provencal herbs complement the spicy and fruity character of the wine perfectly.Lasagna with ground beef and béchamel sauce
The rich layers of sauce and savoury flavours find a beautiful balance with the structure and roundness of the wine.Peppers stuffed with rice, tomato and minced meat
The warm flavours and light sweetness of the pepper enhance the fruity and spicy notes of the Côtes-du-Rhône.Grilled eggplant with tomato sauce and Parmesan
The earthy vegetables and savoury cheese beautifully bring out the spiciness and ripe fruit of the wine.Lamb chops with thyme, honey and roasted garlic
The combination of savoury, spicy and a touch of sweet fits beautifully with the warm style of the wine.Wild boar stew with carrot, fennel and red wine
The powerful flavours of the stew are carried by the depth, spiciness and soft tannins of the Maxime.

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.
