Louis Bernard Chateauneuf-Du-Pape 2016

Deep garnet red color. This expressive wine opens up with blueberries, passion fruits, garrigue and mint. A full-bodied wine, creamy and lush on the palate. The finish is long with notes of mocha and black tea. Service & food pairing Open 2 hours before serving between 16° -18°C (63°- 65°F). Perfect with game, duck filet or spicy dishes.

Cherry and plum flavors are youthful and fresh in this wine, accented by crushed mineral and a tinge of peppery spice. It’s silken-smooth in texture yet held upright by taut, persistent tannins. Attractive already the wine should improve through 2028 and hold further.
