Critique Review

"A complex nose with ripe red-plum and wild-cherry aromas, framed in attractively fragrant spice and some earthy nuances. The palate has deep flavors, delivered in a very plush, grainy and juicy mode. Long, evenhanded hold on the finish here. Drink or hold."

James Suckling, 2019

"Kirsch ground pepper, garrigue, flowery incense notes. It's medium bodied with plenty of fruit ripe tannins and a solid finish all making for one delicious charming nicely textured barrel sample that's already impossible to resist."

Jeb Dunnuck, 88-91 pts.

Vineyard Info

Vignobles & Compagnie was founded in 1963 by producers from the Rhone Valley and is currently under the Taillan France Group. We are specialised in great wines of the Southern Rhone Valley: Crus, Côtes du Rhône Villages, Côtes du Rhône, IGP and grapes varieties. Vignobles & Compagnie is a highly committed Winery which has been working for over half century in support of its partners to secure their future and allow family-owned estates to be handed down from generation to generation. A partner charter sets down this mutual commitment of daily assistance in the vineyard and cellar.

CHATEAU LA GRANDE GARDIOLE Chateauneuf du Pape was built in the XVIth century and is located in the heart of a warm climate, on the famous bed of pebble soils and terraced vineyards, giving birth to an exceptional wine. Originally use as a barn to shelter the food of the Prince of Orange, now the property of the Rey family, CHATEAU DE LA GRANDE GARDIOLE, has become one of the most influent Estates of the appellation.
