The 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape La Bernardine white is a real stunner. Notes of citrus oil, nectarine, mango, and some crushed rocks are present in this wine, which has very pure fruit, lots of texture, and a crisp, dry finish. The great terroiriste and biodynamic farmer of the northern Rhone, Michel Chapoutier, continues to display impressive talent for turning out strong wines from the southern Rhone even though his undeniably strengths are his single-vineyard wines from the north.
