Chateau De La Gardine Chateauneuf Du Pape Cuvee Peur Bleue is a limited edition wine that is fresh, open and generous, bursting with liquorice, chocolate and black olive notes. The palate is bursting with blueberry and blackberry fruit and Provençale herbs, with abundant yet ripe tannins. Very impressive and very approachable, this is for drinking now whilst the other Gardine cuvées evolve in your cellar.
