2020 Louis Bernard Chateauneuf du Pape

Price: $64.99

Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre from the sun-kissed slopes of the Southern Rhône are famously blended to create the esteemed Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and this 2020 Louis Bernard is a prime example of that magic. Expect a generous pour brimming with dark fruit flavours, a whisper of wild herbs, and a warming, velvety texture that speaks directly to its venerable terroir. It’s a wine with serious presence, designed to stand up to your heartiest meals.

Tasting Notes

  • Aroma: Ripe dark fruits like blackberry and plum, with hints of garrigue (wild herbs), black pepper, and a touch of licorice.
  • Palate: Intense flavours of blackcurrant and cherry, supported by spicy notes, smoky undertones, and a full, velvety mouthfeel.
  • Finish: A long, lingering finish with well-integrated tannins and a warm, spicy conclusion.

Perfect Food Pairings

This powerful red wine is an excellent match for robust cuisine:

  • Red Meats: Grilled steak, lamb chops, or slow-cooked beef stew.
  • Game: Roasted duck, venison, or boar.
  • Cheese: Aged Gouda, mature cheddar, or a flavourful blue cheese.
