Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose of red and black fruits with light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates and light earth.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, spices, light oak, licorice, chocolates and peppercorn.

This 6 year old GSM blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape is still young, but already enjoyable even by itself. Rich, robust and elegant.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.

Easy drinking, and good by itself or with food.

A blend of equal parts of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre. Aged in large oak barrels for 16 months.

Blend of 70% Grenache, 17% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah & 3% Cinsault, deep Ruby color with aromas of berry fruits, oak and floral spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberry with oak, herb spice and floral notes. Wine was complex and elegant with fine smooth tannins, long fruit and spicy finish. Very Nice! — 8 months ago

This is a very good value for a classic GSM Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Well balanced, with good acidity, plush tannins and bright red (strawberry, red currant) and black fruit (blackberry, black cherry). There is already a welcome note of garrigue (wild thyme and lavender) and a hint of leather. What prevents it from scoring higher is a medium finish from toned-down intensity. For that added level you need to go for the top-tier (and excellent) Les Cailloux! — 2 years ago

2016 vintage. A blend of Grenache (75%) and Syrah. Full-bodied and spicy with soft tannin and remarkably fresh. Long peppery finish. A good introduction to the more famous Chateauneuf-du-Pape wines from this estate at about half the price. Abv. 14%. — 5 years ago

1970 Vintage amazing this wine is 49 year old and still good! From the bottom of the cellar, the cork was leaking a little so we opened it! Had it in June 2019 with friends who visit Chateau la Gardine every year — 7 years ago

Dark ruby in color with a reddish/ brick rim.

Pretty nose of red and black fruits with cedar, licorice and chocolate notes.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with sweet raspberries, cherries, plums, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, black pepper and tobacco leaf.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious 14 year old GSM blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Rich, but not extracted. Elegant with lots of chocolate notes. Well balanced with nice complexity.

Impressively fresh and youthful for its age, with good structure and balance. The high alcohol is well integrated by now.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is very consistent.

Drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

A gorgeous wine to drink by itself or with food.

A blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 20% Mourvedre. Grapes from very old vines are aged in new French oak barrels for 14 months.

GOSH this blend of Roussanne, Clairette and Grenache Blanc makes for a poised, silky and aromatic but elegant bottle I’d imagine paying twice as much for. The nose promises stone fruit and incense adventure, while the palate is cozy, adding warming spice, lanolin and honeydew melon, along side hints of wet stone to keep it all fresh. J’adore, je affor(d). — 2 years ago

2015 vintage. Not in the same league as the 2016 and 2017, but nevertheless an attractive wine. Golden yellow. Honeyed nose with subtle hints of rosemary and fresh mint. Round mouthfeel, lacks a bit of tension, but charming. Good spicy length. — 4 years ago

8.9

Nice grenache nose with blackberry notes along with garigue and tapenade touches. This is simple yet very inviting. The palate is very well made with a very strong acid backbone, a nice blackberry note all along, somehow a milky mouthfeel, a powerhouse of a midpalate with a good grip and a very long finish with fruit and that grip, along with a tiny bitter touch. This is simple but very well made. More of this!! — 5 years ago

Long finish with citrus and apples.

This 10 year old Roussanne from Châteauneuf-du-Pape is drinking beautifully now. Elegant and nicely balanced.

Still showing lots of fruits and drinking at its peak. Will continue to do so in the next 5 to 7 years.

Complex and interesting with a nice mouthfeel. Nicely balanced, soft and smooth.

A great sipping wine, easy drinking and better when not too cold.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.

This is a very tasty GSM blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Elegant and nicely balanced. Tangy and interesting.

Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Already drinking nicely, even by itself as a sipping wine.
