Maison Chapoutier Chateauneuf-du-Pape La Bernardine 2021 is made from 75% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre.
Intense crimson-red in color with a complex but subtle nose of blackcurrant and plum followed by roasted coffee, cinnamon, and cherry. On the palate, it opens into spice, licorice and fruity notes.
Review:
A textural, refined and velvety Chateauneuf-du-Pape with aromas of forest berries, wet stones, roasted meat, wild herbs and some bark. It’s medium- to full-bodied with fine, firm tannins. There is a refined texture here, silky at the center, with a delicate core of dark cherries challenged by an intense array of spices that provide verve and energy.

It means with head, it is Galician word that means a way to do the things with calm and think every step to succeed. It was a word that the founder of the winery, Manolo Arnoya, always used (“do things with Sentidiño "). The label represents a seafaring boat associated with the fisherman who bravely goes out to work on the sea and has to work with “Sentidiño” to return home safely.
Refined, soft, fresh and intense wine. It presents a powerful aroma of stone fruits, such as peach and sweet pear and it presents a freshness so characteristic of lemon. It is a pleasure for the palate!
