La Bernardine Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2021
£49.99
La Bernardine Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2021 is a benchmark Southern Rhône red produced by Maison M. Chapoutier. It is Grenache led, showcasing the variety's richness, depth and spice, and the producer lists around 14% ABV. The wine takes its name from a 13th century papal hunting lodge, a reminder of Châteauneuf-du-Pape's historic ties to the Avignon papacy.
The 2021 vintage, cooler and fresher than the hot years preceding it, has yielded wines of elegance, moderate alcohol and lifted aromatics. On the nose look for plum, cherry and cinnamon, with spicy liquorice on the palate.
It is refined and approachable while keeping an age worthy structure. For Châteauneuf-du-Pape in Chiswick, you can buy La Bernardine 2021 from Chiswick Wine.
