From the Winemaker:
"La Bernardine" is the name of the house, sitting in the middle of the vineyards, which was bought by Michel’s grandfather. Golden, yellow and brilliant in color with notes of vine blossom and lily in the nose. The palate well-balance and fresh with flavors of candied citrus. Pairs well with grilled and roasted white meats, as well as monkfish and scallops. Also, an excellent pairing with brandade or soft cheese.
93 Points Jeb Dunnuck
"The 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape La Bernardine Blanc showed brilliantly, with a rocking nose of ripe white peach, charcoal, flowers, and spice that gives way to a richer, medium to full-bodied white with bright acidity and a great finish."
93 Points Wine Enthusiast
"Aromas of lemon pith, lime zest, fresh pears, squeezed orange, geranium, white tea and stone fill the glass. The palate is textured with ripe lemons and Gala apples, accompanied by light white flowers, candied ginger and a gentle stony finish. Brisk acidity lifts the palate, making this wine an enjoyable aperitif or paired with soft cow cheeses."
92 Points Wine Spectator
"Glossy and stylish, with a fresh profile of green apple and lime zest. Gains zesty character through the unadorned finish, courtesy of crushed mineral details, with impressive integration and focus overall. Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris, Clairette and Roussanne. Drink now through 2028. 175 cases imported."
