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

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

Note: RVF Guide—The Best Wines of France 2009: 15/20
This “Tradition” cuvée, following in the footsteps of the previous vintage, already demonstrates Patrick Brunel’s exceptional expertise. Despite having been bottled only recently, it is already perfect—a superb expression of the 2007 vintage from the southern Rhône Valley! A beautifully rich wine to be enjoyed right now.
