One of Côte-Rôtie's most substantial family holdings
- Owned by Maison Guigal since 2006, Domaine de Bonserine commands some of the most prized vineyard parcels in the Côte-Rôtie appellation. The house's stewardship has refined both viticulture and winemaking across the estate's considerable holdings.
- This cuvée draws from the appellation's most celebrated lieux-dits: Côte-Blonde, Côte-Brûne, and Les Moutonnes. Each sector contributes distinct mineral and aromatic signatures that define the northern Rhône's complexity.
- Crafted from the estate's oldest Syrah vines, La Garde expresses the depth and structure that mature plantings deliver. The wine reflects decades of terroir accumulation in every glass.

In the mouth
Rich and voluptuous, yet structured. Mocha, spiced plum compote, and cocoa notes build across the palate. The tannins are firm yet supple, providing excellent grip without harshness. A wine of considerable balance and length.
On the nose
Layered and refined. Black cherry and dark plum mingle with white pepper, liquorice, and a distinctive siliceous minerality. The bouquet unfolds gradually, revealing floral undertones.
On the eye
Deep ruby garnet. Sustained colour with considerable density.
Breeding
In 228-litre barrels for 3 years
A natural companion to game birds—roasted quail or pigeon with forcemeat preparations showcase the wine's aromatic complexity and savoury depth. Also suited to slow-braised beef dishes and aged hard cheeses. Cellaring potential of 15–20 years for those inclined to wait.

DOMAINE DE BONSERINE
Perched on the terraced slopes of Ampuis, Domaine de Bonserine farms 12 hectares of iron- and mica-rich schist across the Côte-Blonde and Côte-Brune, at the heart of one of the northern Rhône's most demanding appellations. Founded in 1961 and acquired by the Guigal family in 2006, the estate operates under full managerial independence, led by Ludovic Richard. Syrah — known locally as Serine — is the soul of the range, occasionally blended with Viognier to striking effect. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this estate for the rigour of its viticulture on steep terraced parcels, the precision of its élevage, and the recognition it has earned — three stars in the 2025 Guide Hachette for La Sarrasine. A benchmark address in the northern Vallée du Rhône.
COTE-ROTIE
Le Domaine de Bonserine, l\'un des plus vastes de l\'appellation Côte-Rôtie, propose ici sa cuvée phare en magnum. Cette expression issue des plus vieilles vignes de Serine révèle une puissance concentrée, où le fruit net côtoie des notes épicées et minérales. Trois ans d\'élevage en fût de 228 litres ont construit une charpente enrobée, voluptueuse. À servir sur des volailles farcies ou des gibiers fins.
