(Wine Advocate Score 89-91) The 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape la Bernardine, a blend of 75% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre, is red-fruited and vibrant in this vintage, with hints of garrigue lending nuance to the cherries and raspberries. Medium to full-bodied, it's supple on the mid-palate, leading into a crisp, silky finish.

Grape variety/varieties: The blending of grape varieties is a characteristic of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. In ”La Bernardine” red, Grenache is the main grape used in the blend, with a smaller proportion of Syrah and Mourvèdre. The Grenache is a grape variety that brings a natural sweetness to the blend, which gives the wine elegance, silky tannins and great finesse.
Harvest: The grapes are carefully selected during the harvesting. Compulsory to obtain the Appellation, this sorting allows to have the best bunches of grapes.
Soil: Quaternary terrace, with a surface of shingles coming from the former bed of the Rhône.
Vinification: The Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation produces wines that are blends of different grape varieties, therefore, vinification depends on the component grapes and their varietals. Traditional vinification is carried out in closed concrete tanks. The vatting period usually lasts for around 3 weeks, at high temperature to ensure the maximum extraction of colour and tannins.
Ageing: Ageing takes place in concrete tanks for 15 months to ensure good oxygenation of the wine, which preserves its freshness and aromas.
