La Bastide Saint Dominique

The 2022 La Bastide Saint Dominique Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a powerful jewel from the Southern Rhône, with a deep garnet-red color and violet hues. The bouquet is rich in black cherries, blackberries, and raspberries, interwoven with garrigue herbs, pepper, roasted meat, and lavender. On the palate, it is full-bodied with velvety tannins and vibrant acidity, highlighting dark berries, spices, and licorice. Layers of mineral earth and oak culminate in a long, persistent finish with grip and spice. It exudes concentration and finesse, is enjoyable to drink now, and will continue to develop over 8-10 years – a classic that captures the soul of Châteauneuf.
