Our wine-tasting cellar is at the heart of the estate in the family home, situated on the road to Roquemaure.
You will first discover a breathtaking view on the whole terroir of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, running southbound to Avignon, the Luberon and the Alpilles mountains along the Rhône River.
Then you’ll face the XVIII th century family home with the underground barrel cellars, where the wines you are going to taste quietly age to give the best of the Chateauneuf-du-Pape and of the winemaker’s know-how.
We are pleased to welcome you every day of the year, from 9am to 6pm Monday to Friday over lunch and 10am to 6pm on Saturday over lunch. We close on Sunday. A car park is available and the building is handicapped-accessible.
Reception, presentation and tasting can be made in French, Spanish, English and German. Private bookings in an exclusive lounge are possible.
The wine-tatsting cellar has been fitted out in the XVIII th century family home, right in the middle of the estate’s vineyards.
The area has been designed to provide you a cosy and homey feeling with light, space and soft colouring : everything is here for you to live an unforgettable experience of tasting Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines.
From the tasting lounge you have a direct view on our underground barrel cellars. Dug in the rock, those caves house almost 500 oak barrels. Some are as old as the house.
During your visit you will understand - and taste - the essential part taken by the oak barrel aging on our red wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and sometimes also on our white wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
If there’s a god-blessed wine, it is indeed this wine of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Through a tasting of different bottles and vintages, we offer you to discover a wide range of taste and aromatic sensations.
The red wines of Chateauneuf-du-Pape are powerful, intense in colour with red berry and spice aroma. The white wines of Chateauneuf-du-Pape are well-balanced, all built on aromatic freshness and floral nuances.
Tasting workshop: journey through the vintages of our cellar treasures
We reserve for you a day full of emotions around beautiful bottles, carefully kept. A journey through time, through different vintages, to discover the evolution of a wine and exercise your palate to distinguish a young wine (fruity aromas, pronounced tannins) of a more advanced wine (tertiary aromas, patinated tannins).
Only by reservation: 6 people minimum, to book your tasting, please email us at caveau@gardine. com
During your visit, on the panoramic terrace you can admire the largest rolled pebble ever discovered in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, 502 kg and almost 240 million years old.
