Specifically, it comes from the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation in the southern part of the Rhône. This warmer southern sector is famous for its Grenache-based blends, which often include Syrah, Mourvèdre, and other permitted grape varieties. The wine holds the Appellation Châteauneuf-du-Pape Contrôlée classification and was bottled directly at the estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Brunel family has been cultivating wine in the Southern Rhône since 1670. However, it was in 1945 that Gaston Brunel purchased Château de la Gardine, establishing a permanent headquarters for the family. Today, four generations later, the estate is managed by eight family members, representing a rare depth of family continuity in the modern French wine trade. The core production of the house is based on 54 hectares within Châteauneuf-du-Pape itself. Over the years, the family expanded its regional coverage by acquiring 47 hectares in Rasteau in 1963 and the 45-hectare Château Saint-Roch in Lirac in 1998.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA distinctive feature of Château de la Gardine is its unique bottle shape. Between 1964 and 1967, Gaston Brunel designed a characteristic Châteauneuf bottle with soft, bulging contours. This design has become one of the strongest visual signatures of the house, making it easily recognizable among the more standardized bottle types of the Southern Rhône. This specific 1986 release is presented in a 375 ml format with an alcohol content of 13.5%.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château de la Gardine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57797900796230,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/camera-33CD5E49-2017-4D43-A4B1-43E556E5E00B.jpg?v=1794231124","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/chateauneuf-du-pape-chateau-de-la-gardine-1986-0-375-cl","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
