Louis Bernard Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge 2022 750ml

Deep garnet red colour. This expressive wine opens up to berry fruits underscored by hints of forest undergrowth, spices and balsamic notes. On the palate, it has a nice balance between complexity and roundness. The finish is long with stewed fruity notes.

96 Points - Decanter

Powerfully lifted black pepper, rose petal, red cherry, forest floor, liquorice, baking spice and herbal aromatics. Really complex, but still with some polished, soft fruits and a touch more oak spice on the palate. Finishes lengthily. Well-made and youthful, with time to go. Watch this space.

90 Points - Jeb Dunnuck

The 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape from Louis Bernard is a forward, sexy wine that's loaded with notions of black raspberries, melted licorice, earth, and spring flowers. It's ripe, medium to full-bodied, has plenty of fruit, and a good finish. It's just another terrific value from this estate. The blend is 65% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and the rest Mourvèdre, brought up all in concrete tanks.

89 Points - Wine Enthusiast   

Hints of chocolate ganache and cinnamon mingle into strawberry preserves on the nose and palate of this voluminous but softly structured blend of 75% Grenache and 25% Syrah. It's fleshy and open knit, with a finish framed by fine, feathery tannins. Best enjoyed now–2024.
