Louis Bernard Chateauneuf-Du-Pape 2022

Louis Bernard Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2022 is a rich, expressive, and classically styled Southern Rhône red wine crafted from a harmonious blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grown in sun-drenched vineyards dotted with rounded quartzite stones (galets roulés). Displaying an intense deep garnet color, it opens with a fragrant, lifted bouquet of wild blackberries, ripe dark cherries, and plum preserves, beautifully interwoven with garrigue herbs, ground pepper, sweet spices, and subtle forest floor notes. On the palate, it exhibits a full-bodied, generous mouthfeel characterized by a smooth, rounded texture, supple fine-grained tannins, and balanced natural acidity, carrying ripe berry fruit and savory mineral nuances effortlessly into a long, persistent finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with roasted lamb shanks, grilled ribeye steak, venison stew, wild boar ragù, duck breast, and aged hard cheeses.
