Domaine Duseigneur Chateauneuf-du-Pape Matteo 2022

Bernard Duseigneur's biodynamic Châteuneuf-du-Pape, made from 80% Grenache with 20% Syrah, is generous and complex, a bold Rhône Valley wine that is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. Flowers, garrigue, olives, and kirsch are followed by notes of plum, blackcurrant, cocoa, coffee, pepper and a hint of smoke, with chewy tannins and firm structure. A soft, elegant, refined, forward, easy-to-like charmer. Drink from 2024-2029.

Hailing from a familly of winemakers, settled in Saint Laurent des Arbres on the other side of the Rhône, Bernard Duseigneur took charge of the Domaine in 2002. After an investment banker experience in the City, Bernard reconnected with his Mediterranean roots by continuing his father’s and brother’s work on the left bank of the Rhône in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. In a partnership since 2007 with Philippe Faure-Brac, elected the world’s best sommelier in 1992, Bernard has had the privilege of working with one of the world’s finest wine connoisseurs who also possesses a true passion for terroirs and winemakers. 

Châteuneuf-du-Pape is the largest and most important wine appellation in the southern Rhône Valley. It’s located just a half hour north of the historical city of Avignon and is always a bold wine for those looking for a rich style of wine. This bottle boasts black fruits and lots of body that benefits from a decanting.
