We've been in love with this wine for years now. And so have the critics, with continuous 91+ pt reviews from Wine Advocate, Jeb Dunnuck and Vinous. With the 2020 vintage, winemaker Xavier Rolin has hit yet another homerun. 91 pt Chateauneuf du Pape for $24.99? Did I meet up with Marty McFly and Doc? Is this 1990? Sigh… that would be kind of nice, since I would have hair again! Seriously, though… there is no better value in Chateauneuf!
So… here’s the secret… “Maison la Berthaude” is a label done for our friends at MISA Imports. It is produced by Domaine Roger Perrin under the guidance of 5th generation winemaker/owner Xavier Rolin. This bottling is the same as the Domaine’s “Les Galets de la Berthaude,” an homage to the district of Chateauneuf where the vineyard is located (Berthaude) and the large round “pudding stones” (“galets”) that make the region so special. 76% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 4% Mourvedre, brought up entirely in tank, so all you get is pure fruit and terroir. Plush cherry flavors mingle with wild herbs and cracked black pepper, finishing with just enough tannins and minerality to balance it all out. Classic Chateauneuf at 1980's pricing!
The best part about the price is you don’t even need to wait to enjoy this baby! It is super sexy and approachable right now. Of course, it will improve with time in bottle, but it is going to be hard to keep your hands off.
