Domaine Berthet-Rayne

Locaed in the Courthezon appellation & formed in 1978, the estate owns 25 hectares of vines, of which 14.7 are located in the CDP appellations of Chapouin, Coudoulet and La Gardiole lieux-dits. With vines over 100 years of age, elegance is the focus

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

Elegant & Structured Reds

From Barolo to Bordeaux, these wines are steeped in tradition. The style covers a broad spectrum of flavor profiles, but tend to be elegant and structured and can be cellared for a long time.

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

Malolactic fermentation

MLF is a process that results in reduction in acidity & the production of buttery texture & taste profile, often applied to more bodied styles of red & white wines
While not all creamy whites or rich fruity reds undergo MLF, and can adopt similar profiles from barrel ageing,
