Château de la Gardine - Châteauneuf-du-Pape Tradition 2007

Château de la Gardine - Châteauneuf-du-Pape Tradition 2007

Note: RVF Guide - Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2009: 15/20
This traditional cuvée, in line with the previous vintage, already demonstrates Patrick Brunel's exceptional expertise. Despite having only recently been bottled, it is already perfect, in a superb 2007 vintage in the southern Rhône Valley! A beautifully rich wine to be enjoyed today.
