"Another top class effort from Chateau de la Gardine. Their Chateauneuf du Pape is a mix 60% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, and 5% Muscardin and shows deep, smokey and roasted fruit." - John Livingstone-Learmonth, Wine Jounalist & Author.

Rich flavours of blackberries and black cherry raspberry and a hint of coffee and violet with a velvety spicy finish. An elegant and balanced wine. Would pair well with hearty winter suppers! - Emma Bristow, OWC
