Châteauneuf-du-Pape is one of the southern Rhône's great names, and La Gardine is one of its most dependable estates. This 2022 rouge is built around Grenache — as almost all serious Châteauneuf is — with Syrah and Mourvèdre adding structure and a darker, more savoury edge. The vintage was warm and generous, producing wines with real depth and flesh. This has the ripe, sun-soaked character you'd expect from that year, but there's enough freshness and grip to keep it honest. We find it drinking very well already: dark cherry, wild herbs, and something almost meaty on the nose, then a broad, warmly structured palate that finishes with spice and dusty mineral bite.
