Description

This Côtes du Rhône Rouge from Château de la Gardine is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, the trio also known as the GSM blend. The grapes come from various vineyards in the southern Rhône region. After harvest, fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. The wine remains in contact with the skins for extended periods to extract more color, flavor, and structure. After fermentation, the wine matures for several months in concrete tanks. The result is an accessible, fruity wine that is versatile and suitable for a wide range of table settings!

In the glass, the Château de la Gardine Brunel Côtes du Rhône has a ruby-red color with a purple hue. The nose reveals aromas of red fruit, herbs, and sweet spices. On the palate, it's 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 pairs well with a cheese board (brie, aged cheddar, and époisses). It also pairs well with barbecues, both grilled meat and grilled vegetables. Like many red wines, this wine shouldn't be enjoyed too warm. 14-16°C is ideal. 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 Brunel de la Gardine.

1. Grilled sausages with lentils and mustard vinaigrette
The hearty lentils and fatty meat complement the wine's spicy and warm style beautifully. The mustard vinaigrette provides a fresh contrast that accentuates the fruit.

2. Ratatouille with thyme, rosemary and garlic
The classic Provençal flavours enhance the spicy notes in the wine, while the roasted vegetables provide depth and structure that complement the soft tannin profile.

3. Oven-baked chicken with peppers, onions and olives
The juicy meat and Mediterranean herbs perfectly complement the wine's warm character. The salty olives add an extra layer that beautifully complements the wine.

4. Tagliatelle with mushrooms, Parmesan and sage butter
The earthy mushrooms and herby sage reflect the wine's complexity, 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 succulent duck complements the roundness of the wine, while the figs and parsnip provide sweet and earthy notes that enhance the fruity and spicy character of the wine.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving De 2024 Château de la Gardine Brunel de la Gardine Côtes du Rhône Rouge biedt een mooie combinatie van fruitige smaken zoals rood fruit en kruiden, aangevuld met zachte tannines en een vleugje zoete specerijen. Door de soepele structuur en de aromatische rijkdom past deze wijn uitstekend bij gerechten met rijke, hartige smaken zoals stoofschotels, wild en vlees dat langzaam garen of gegrild wordt. Vooral bereidingswijzen zoals langzaam gestoofd vlees, gegrilde eendenborst of gerechten met mediterrane kruiden versterken de kruidige en fruitige nuances van de wijn. De wijn komt het beste tot zijn recht bij een serveertemperatuur van 14 tot 16 graden Celsius en vormt een perfecte match bij gerechten waarin de smaken door het koken of grillen worden verdiept en versterkt.

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.
