Brunel de la Gardine Cuvée des Générations Marie-Léoncie 2022
Pale gold with greenish glints. Medium-full bodied. A palate of peach nectar and lemon zest floods the palate – ripe but not sugary, with a clean citrus cut. Creamy and rounded texture, balanced by a zippy, lemon-like acidity. Savory layers unfold: raw almond skins, sea salt, and a stony minerality that keeps it grounded. Long and refreshing finish leaving traces of wet granite, salted almond
Drinkability
Now (2024–2026): Shows vibrant fruit and freshness.
Aging (2027–2030+): Will gain honeyed depth and toasted nut nuances. Still, drink it young for energy.
About Brunel de la Gardine
Located in the heart of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Domaine de la Gardine (often referred to as Brunel de la Gardine) is a renowned, family-owned estate steeped in Rhône tradition, established by Gaston Brunel in the mid-20th century, and now run by the 3rd and 4th generations (Patrick and Maxime Brunel).
They are celebrated for traditional Style with finesse: While deeply traditional (using concrete tanks, large foudres), they emphasize balance, elegance, and freshness over sheer power, often achieving remarkable drinkability relatively young while maintaining aging potential.
