"Murmurs of burnt cinnamon and leather accent brisk raspberry and sour-cherry preserves in this powerful but elegant Grenache (augmented by 5% each of Syrah and Mourvédre). Tasted in January 2021, its red-fruit flavors are still pure and vibrant, but reveal inflections of earth, smoke and fur. Plush tannins and a wisp of heat linger on the finish. Seductive now, the wine should continue to improve through 2035 and hold further. Anna Lee C. Iijima"

"The best La Bernardine I can recall, this is a wonderfully full-bodied yet elegant rendering of Ch-teauneuf-du-Pape. Garrigue and floral notes make a healthy impression on the nose, while the expansive herb and black cherry flavors linger on the silky finish. Drink now?2025."

"Sehr gefälliger Ch-teauneuf-du-Pape, karamellisierte Kirschfrucht und Johannisbeere, trockene Mokka-Tannine, etwas kurz und leicht austrocknend im Abgang. Eher einfacher Ch-teauneuf-du-Pape aber fraglos gut gemacht."

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "M. Chapoutier Chateauneuf-du-Pape La Bernardine" from the vintage 2009 on 01.01.2012 with 91 of 100 points.
"Chapoutier has fashioned a full-bodied, creamy-textured 2009 Le Bernardine, with dark, plummy fruit and a hint of chocolate liqueur that ably reflect the warm vintage. Yet despite all of the lushness, the wine doesn't come across as heavy or overdone, making it attractive for early drinking. Try now?2018."

"(2007) Chapoutier's La Bernardine is 100% Grenache and has earned high praise from critics, including Robert Parker. The immediate impression on the nose is of concentration and intensity, with a dense, spicy, smoky blackberry fruit and a creamy, glossy sheen of old oak. There's a plummy depth here, in a wine that seems tight and youthful. On the palate that picture of concentration is consolidated, with a raft of silky, dense black fruit and a polished, tight-grained cedary character. There are layers of wood smoke and liquorice-tinged, plum skin and espresso darkness, with a core of tight, muscular tannins and acidity. A very well-balanced and intense wine that needs a couple of hours decanting now, or a few years in the cellar."

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "M. Chapoutier Chateauneuf-du-Pape La Bernardine" from the vintage 2001 on 01.01.2005 with 90 of 100 points.
"This wine doesn't reveal that much of itself on the nose, showing just teasing hints of leather and cherries. But it oozes across the palate with dense, chocolate fudge flavors that carry cherry and dried spice notes. Rich and supple in the mouth, it finishes long and nuanced. Drink now-2010+."

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "M. Chapoutier Chateauneuf-du-Pape La Bernardine" from the vintage 1997 on 01.01.2000 with 85 of 100 points.
"Relatively light in color and even a bit of brown showing at the rim?unusual for such a young wine, but '97 wasn't the greatest year in Ch-teauneuf. Mature leather, earth and faint soy-sauce aromas and flavors. Decent effort for the vintage."

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "M. Chapoutier Chateauneuf-du-Pape La Bernardine" from the vintage 2004 with 85 of 100 points.
"A bit disappointing. The wine's strawberry flavors are somewhat austere, revealing a lack of flesh and ripeness. Lean, expanding only on the finish, where firm tannins prevent current enjoyment. A blend ofGrenache andSyrah. Try after 2010."
