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

2022 M. Chapoutier La Bernardine Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge..$59.99
Softened plum and wild berry notes share the stage with herbs and savory power. Brown bread, toasted anise and juniper merge in on the harmonious palate, with all of the elements firing in sync. The beautiful texture -- mostly glossy, with a hint of chewy meatiness -- and chalk-fine tannins hold a gentle grip as grilled sandalwood smoke closes out. Grenache and Syrah. Drink now through 2030. 600 cases imported.
