Château de la Gardine Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge Tradition 2021, 0,75 L

Château de la Gardine is one of the top addresses in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Their wine appears in a unique and memorable bottle.

A Châteauneuf-du-Pape with Grenache, Syrah & Mourvedre combined into a harmonious cuvée. Firm tannins, but still super velvety and complex.

On the nose, it is very elegant and multi-layered with well-integrated wood. However, the wood doesn't dominate. Decant the wine a few hours beforehand in order to be able to enjoy it properly. Then the wine opens up, revealing more red berries and leather. Behind this lies a prominent mineral note, which is always present in the region.

Very juicy on the palate, lots of raspberries and black cherries, with delicate vanilla notes, firm, super ripe tannins. Herbal, spicy and complex - demonstrating exactly why Châteauneuf-du-Pape is so famous.
