M. Chapoutier La Bernardine Châteauneuf-du-Pape



2022 M. Chapoutier La Bernardine Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc..$69.99
Mostly Clairette (there's 20% Grenache Blanc), the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape La Bernardine Blanc has a gorgeous array of ripe pears, honeyed tangerines, white flowers, and a wonderful sense of stony minerality. This all carries to a medium to full-bodied, richly textured, and flawlessly balanced white with integrated acidity and outstanding length
Rated 95/100 Jeb Dunnuck

2021 M. Chapoutier La Bernadine Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge..$58.99

A textural, refined and velvety Chateauneuf-du-Pape with aromas of forest berries, wet stones, roasted meat, wild herbs and some bark. It’s medium- to full-bodied with fine, firm tannins. There is a refined texture here, silky at the center, with a delicate core of dark cherries challenged by an intense array of spices that provide verve and energy. Lively and focused finish with length. Try after 2026.
Rated 93/100 James Suckling
