Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Bernardine

Given its richness and spice + tannin structure, this wine would pair well with hearty meat dishes: grilled or roasted lamb, beef stews, game (venison), or dishes with rich sauces (e.g. a peppercorn or whisky cream sauce). Also good with aged cheeses.

A blend of several Châteauneuf-du-Pape Terroirs, composed of rolled pebbles from the ancient bed of the Rhône, safres and villafranchian terraces on clay matrices.

Aged for 16 months entirely in concrete vats.

Manual harvest at perfect maturity, Carefully sorted at harvest. Traditional vinification in closed concrete vats. Average vatting time of 3 weeks, with light extraction to preserve freshness and finesse of the grape varieties.

The story began with Michel Chapoutier a unique man with a thirst for knowledge definitely one of a kind. Michel is openminded and always willing to learn. He seeks to discover and reflect the full potential of his terroirs and let the soils express their true character. That which gives the wines their signature style. This now forms the basis of the M. CHAPOUTIER ethos and our team strives to reveal the very best of what the soils have to offer.
