The Story: Initially used as a barn to store the provisions of the Prince of Orange, the Château de la Grande Gardiole, owned by the Rey family, has managed to become one of the largest estates in the appellation, garnering a well-earned reputation for combining value with quality.
Why You'll Love Me: Red fruit to the fore, this bursts with delicate hints of clove and rosehips, making for a charming aromatic profile. On the palate, there are added layers of cranberries and warming spices that accentuate its refined character.
