WINE DESCRIPTION

Louis Bernard Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a luxurious red wine from the renowned Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation of the Southern Rhône Valley in France. This bold, full-bodied wine is a blend of Grenache, and Syrah, producing a complex and deep flavor profile. On the nose, aromas of dark berries, black currant, and spice mingle together, while on the palate, the wine is jammy and intense with notes of plum, fig, and licorice. The finish is long, with a light minerality and a hint of sweet herbs. Enjoy this opulent wine with grilled meats, game, and roasted vegetables.

The palate is full and round, with flavors of ripe plum, blackberry, and spicy pepper. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, and the finish is long and lingering. This is a classic example of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, with excellent balance and complexity.

ORIGINS

Winery: Louis Bernard

Region: Rhone

The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.
