2020 Louis Bernard Chateauneuf du Pape

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.

• Red Meats: Grilled steak, lamb chops, or slow-cooked beef stew.
