Les Gardettes are the two towers that guard the entrance to the castle. In accordance with the 'Montfaucon' spirit and quality, these wines are very convivial, easy drinking and easy to match with all types of food. With an attractive price, Les Gardettes has become a success among the restaurants trade as house wine. Les Gardettes rosé is a rosé de saignée with a deep pink coloured blend of Cinsault, Counoise and Grenache with delicate aromas of peach and violets.
This white wine is made in the same spirit as Baron Louis and with a lot of delicacy. All the grapes (Marsanne, Viognier, Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Picpoul) are picked by hand in 20 kg cases and pressed directly. I let the juice settle naturally for ten to twenty hours before racking it into oak barrels where the wine ferments naturally without temperature control. The idea is to respect the natural expression of the vineyard with minimum intervention. The wine ages eight months in barrels before bottling.
The wine is a blend of typical Rhône grape varieties Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Carignan. It has been fermented and aged in concrete tanks only, without any influence from oak barrels. At tasting, the wine reveals beautiful red fruit aromas: cherries, blackcurrant, and raspberries with violets and spices. You can feel the importance of the blend in the freshness, roundness and purity of this wine, which also makes it easy to access, a true pleasure to enjoy with a variety of red and white meat dishes and even barbecue.
