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."

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.
