AOC Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Rhône

"La Bernardine" is the name of the house, sitting in the middle of the vineyards, which was bought by Michel’s grandfather.

Tasting Notes

Golden, yellow and brilliant in color with notes of vine blossom and lily in the nose.  The palate well-balance and fresh with flavors of candied citrus.

Grilled and roasted white meats, as well as monkfish and scallops. Also, an excellent pairing with brandade or Camembert cheese.

Grapes are exclusively hand-harvested to maintain the integrity of the grape. After pressing and settling, vinification is carried out in thermo-regulated stainless still tanks. Ageing for 8 to12 months.

This type of ageing process gives the wine structure and complexity. Early bottling is carried out to ensure the freshness of the wine is preserved.
