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
