Description

Domaine Berthet-Rayne Chateauneuf Du Pape AOC Rouge Tradition 2021

Grape Varietals & Region: 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 10% Cinsault, 5% Syrah. The estate is located on the left bank of the Rhône between Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Courthézon and Orange to the north, on the terroirs of Chapouin and Coudoulet. Their vineyard extends over clay-limestone soils of the alpine diluvium with a high proportion of rolled pebbles which result in their elegant reputation.

Taste Profile: Ample, full-bodied and structured, it is a wine with a powerful and complex bouquet. On the palate, like the old Château, it proudly develops its great architectural dimension. Behind a cherry color with purple reflections, this Châteauneuf-du-Pape is both fine and very dense. The bouquet begins to open up with notes of sour cherry, ripe raspberries and sweet spices. Round, ample, silky and generous, it is a harmonious wine to be enjoyed over the next three or four years.

Winemaking Process: The fruit is vinified in cement takes, and is then aged in neutral tank for an average of 12 months. About 12,000 bottles produced per year

These wines often have savoury tones of earth, bell pepper, tobacco, cassis, and are often medium to full bodied, with long finish & structured palattes
