Brunel de la Gardine Côtes du Rhône 2015
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceThe Brunel family has been making wine since the 17th century, and this Châteauneuf du Pape property, Château de la Gardine, was acquired by the négociant in 1945. Known for their singular "La Gardine" sloped bottle, this grenache, mourvèdre, syrah is a classic, typecast Côtes du Rhone. Aged in cement, this approachable bistro-perfect red is textured with anise and tobacco, seasoned with cracked peppercorns and a lick of mineral salts, and charming with alluring red liquorice and cherry friendliness. Bright and medium bodied, there is a firmness to the tannins of this young red, providing structure ideal for roast chicken. Excellent value; this is the Côtes du Rhone you want to stock up on and drink regularly over the next couple of years.Tasted: 13 February 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $20.00 | 750ml | BCLS |
