2016 M. CHAPOUTIER LA BERNARDINE, CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE, RHONE VALLEY FRANCE

La Bernardine Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC by M. Chapoutier is a concentrated, finely fruity wine with almost burgundy finesse from the world-famous Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyard in the southern Rhone Valley. In the glass it appears with intense crimson color, on the nose this southern French red wine unfolds complex, fine aromas with lots of red fruit, scents of strawberry and wild raspberry jam, spicy nuances of colorful pepper and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, the taste is balanced and rich in extracts, you can feel the fruity elegance of the Grenache grape. In the finish, the fruit changes into a fine spicy, long and multi-layered reverberation
