What a treasure this Vacqueyras from the Brunel de la Gardine winery is! It's not large, but the Brunel family truly knows how to create a magnificent Vacqueyras from a small harvest. How, you might ask? Well, this beautiful winery has very old vines. These are deeply rooted and absorb a great deal of terroir from the soil. The climate in the vineyards is also perfect. The sun shines on the grapes every day, and the vines receive sufficient coolness from the wind and night. This allows the grapes to sleep wonderfully and slowly develop into magnificent clusters, and you can taste that in this Vacqueyras.

The rich history of Brunel de la Gardine

The Rhône Valley boasts a rich history and is one of France's oldest wine regions. Here, Brunel's vineyards are situated on steep, rocky slopes. The wine is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre. The grapes come from gravelly soils that also contain some limestone. A particularly good foundation! Château de la Gardine's rich history dates back to the 17th century and was expanded a few years ago with the addition of Brunel de la Gardine, the Château's second line. With this line, the Brunel family aims to market accessible wines with a soft character, suitable for drinking in their youth, while Château de la Gardine wines are given ample time to mature in the cellar. In any case, the expertise is evident in every wine, along with the respect for the terroir and the characteristic Rhône grapes.

The aroma and taste of Brunel de la Gardine Vacqueyras

The grapes are harvested by hand, then crushed and fermented. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for 8 to 10 days. The wine is then aged at a temperature of 13 to 15 degrees Celsius for 12 to 18 months. The result is a typical Rhône wine with ripe fruit, sweet spices, and herbs from the garrigue. The aroma reveals aromas of red berries, violets, licorice, scrubland, and white pepper. The palate is round and ample, with plenty of harmony in a long, lingering finish with silky tannins.
