Grape Varieties : The blend of grape varieties is a characteristic of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. In "La Bernardine" red, it is mainly Grenache and a smaller proportion of Syrah and Mourvèdre. Grenache is a grape variety that brings sweetness, which gives the wine elegance, silky tannins and great finesse.
Harvest : A strict sorting is carried out at harvest time. This sorting, which is obligatory in order to claim the appellation, allows to select the best bunches of grapes.
Soil : Quaternary terrace with large rolled pebbles on the surface from the ancient bed of the Rhône.
Vinification: The wines of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation are blended wines, so the winemaking process is generally tailor-made according to the grape varieties and the grapes. The vinification remains traditional in closed concrete vats. Average vatting time of 3 weeks at high temperature to ensure optimal extraction of colour and tannins.
Ageing: It lasts 15 months, entirely in concrete vats for a better oxygenation of the wine which allows to preserve freshness and aromas.
