Château De La Gardine, Châteauneuf Du Pape Tradition, 2019 - Magnum

Château De La Gardine’s Châteauneuf-du-Pape Tradition 2019 is a full-throttle southern Rhône classic packed with dark berry fruit, cracked pepper, and a touch of earthy spice. It’s rich and layered, with firm tannins and a long, savoury finish that sings alongside roast lamb or slow-cooked game.

The estate’s instantly recognisable bottle shape adds its own touch of history. In the early 1960s, Gaston Brunel unearthed a beautifully irregular, hand-blown bottle while digging out a new cellar. Captivated by its shape, he decided to recreate it for all Gardine wines; a distinctive hallmark that’s now as much a part of the family’s identity as their bold, expressive reds.
