Château De La Gardine, Gigondas Brunel De La Gardine 2021
Gigondas sits in the shadow of the Dentelles de Montmirail and has long been Châteauneuf's rougher, more mountain-edged cousin. The Brunel de la Gardine is Château de la Gardine's Gigondas expression, and it wears that rocky, sun-scorched character honestly. Grenache forms the backbone, with Syrah and Mourvèdre adding structure and a streak of something wilder. The 2021 vintage gave the southern Rhône cooler nights and a longer growing season than usual, which shows: there's freshness here that the appellation doesn't always manage.
Chateau Marjosse Cuvee Les Truffiers 2018
'With the Charmille, Canton du Loup and Truffiers cuvees, we wanted to highlight our different terroirs through the emblematic grape variety of the right bank: Merlot. Each of these cuvees corresponds to a place, a climate, a type of soil. Like the different color palettes available to a painter, the tasting of this triptych allows us to highlight the many assets of Marjosse. Truffiers takes root on the thinnest soils of Marjosse, where the clay layer is sometimes so thin that the limestone bedrock outcrops. The wines obtained are of great concentration, and their dark robe reminds one of the mysterious black diamond.' - Chateau Marjosse
