The tradition of blending grape varieties is a hallmark of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. In Chapoutier`s `La Bernardine,` the primary grape used in the blend is Grenache, complemented by smaller portions of Syrah and Mourvèdre. Grenache contributes natural sweetness to the blend, resulting in an elegant wine with silky tannins and exceptional finesse. The wine undergoes a 15-month ageing process in concrete tanks, which facilitates proper oxygenation, preserving its freshness and aromatic qualities. The defining feature of the 2003 vintage was the scorching European heatwave, with red wines generally outperforming whites, even in regions traditionally associated with white wine production, such as Alsace.

(100% grenache) Light red color. Floral, crisp aromas of bright red berries and cherry, accented by dried herbs. A midweight wine with essentially gentle red berry flavors that linger on the finish.Josh Raynolds1st January 2006

Passion and Drive

One of the oldest producers in the Rhône Valley, M. Chapoutier was established in 1808. The arrival of a young Michel Chapoutier, who took over management of the family domaine in 1990, saw huge changes and a renewed drive for excellence, focussing especially on the diverse terroir of the Rhône. Michel has embraced biodynamic practices in recent years and attributes much of the increase in quality to this approach. The wines are generous and fruit-forward at the entry level, moving towards the sublime as we move up the quality ladder.

Two of the greatest wines in the portfolio are 'De L'Orée', an Hermitage Blanc made from 100% Marsanne and 'Le Pavillon', a full-bodied, expressive Hermitage rouge that effortlessly rubs shoulders with the world's greatest Syrah.
