Château de la Gardine AOP Villages Côtes-du-Rhône Rouge 2023, 0,75 L

The southern Rhône is renowned for its red wines. When a long-established estate such as Château de la Gardine applies its expertise, the result is a wine that impresses from the very first sip.

In the glass, this Villages red shows a deep ruby colour. On the nose, ripe cherries, blackberries and plums are complemented by subtle notes of Provençal herbs, a hint of pepper and a touch of liquorice. On the palate, it is pleasantly juicy, with generous fruit, gentle spice and supple tannins. This balance makes it both versatile and highly enjoyable to drink.

The grapes come from selected village vineyards in the southern Rhône, known for producing wines of character and concentration. The classic blend of Grenache and Syrah provides fruit, structure and the region’s distinctive style.

An excellent match for grilled meat, lamb chops or hearty stews. It is equally enjoyable on its own during a relaxed evening with friends.
