Château De La Gardine, Châteauneuf-Du-Pape Rouge 2023
La Gardine is one of the southern Rhône's most consistent names, farming 57 hectares across some of Châteauneuf's most storied soils. Their straight Châteauneuf rouge is a Grenache-led blend that captures everything the appellation does best: warmth, generosity, and that wild herbal scrubland quality that no amount of winemaking intervention can manufacture. The 2023 vintage was warm and dry, producing wines of real concentration, and La Gardine has handled it with characteristic assurance. We find it rich but not heavy, with dark fruit, roasted herbs, and a savouriness that keeps the ripeness honest.
Côtes De Nuits Villages, Jane Eyre 2020
"This is a confident start to the range, the wine inky purple in the glass, and vibrant aromas of juniper, some graphite and morning quarry, plus ripe and spicy red fruits too. The palate shows darker, deeper berry fruits, which are juicy, rich and chocolatey, seriously intense, but fresh too with a spicy edge to the tannins and acidity to match. From two parcels in Comblanchien, using 45% wholes bunches and aged in five hundred litre barrels." Tom, Head Wine Guru We have a slightly more limited range to offer you from 2020 as several of Jane's contracts were not renewed this year (including the Chassagne Montrachet and Santenay 1er Cru) and overall yields were down. However what is lacking in quantity is more than made up for in quality. Jane began the harvest on 27th August, later than some, but there is no lack of freshness or tension in the wines. They are certainly rich and definitely age-worthy, but still show her trademark supple tannins, perfumed fruit and approachability.
