Château De La Gardine, Brunel De La Gardine Côtes Du Rhône 2024
Brunel de la Gardine is the everyday expression from one of Châteauneuf-du-Pape's most respected families, the Brunels of Château de la Gardine. Sourced from Côtes du Rhône vineyards surrounding their estate, it is a GSM blend built for pleasure rather than patience — warm, generous, and unmistakably southern in character, with the kind of sun-baked red fruit and herbal lift that makes you reach for the terrine before you've even found a seat. The 2024 vintage brought freshness and energy to the southern Rhône, and this shows it. There is real brightness here alongside the expected weight, with Grenache carrying the red fruit and Syrah lending the peppery, meaty edge that makes the blend interesting. Drink it slightly cool, with something from the grill.
Château Saint-Roch, Côtes du Rhône 2024
Château Saint-Roch sits in the southern Rhône, and this Côtes du Rhône does exactly what a well-made example should: it delivers the warmth, generosity, and sun-soaked character of the south without any of the jammy excess that gives cheap GSM blends a bad name. The 2024 vintage brought a long, warm growing season with enough freshness in the evenings to keep the wines lifted, and it shows here in the balance between ripe dark fruit and the herbal, scrubby garrigue quality that makes southern Rhône reds so distinctively southern French. This is a wine to open, pour, and enjoy rather than agonise over. Drink it with something off the grill, a slow-cooked lamb, or simply a decent cheese board on a warm evening.
