The Brunel family’s wine tradition dates back to the 17th century.
Gaston Brunel, a famous négociant, acquired the Château de la Gardine in Châteauneuf du Pape in 1945.

The estate is now run by his two sons, Patrick and Maxime with the help of their wife Eva and Maryse and their children Marie-Odile and Philippe . The estate extends over 52 ha of vineyards and 20 ha of forest, all gathered around the property.

The domain is known for the quality of their wines and for the unique Gardine bottle.
