Taste

Typical to the Chapoutier style of mono-varietal bottlings, "La Bernardine" Blanc is made with only one grape varietal - Grenache Blanc. Vineyard soil is comprised of stones that once lined the bed of the Rhone river. These stones keep vines warm through the night and give finesse and subtlety to a wine characterized by opulence and warmth. This wine is rich and well-balanced with a long, fresh finish.
