La Bastide Saint Dominique Chateauneuf du Pape is a gorgeous organic red wine gem from this highly reputed producer of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Family estate LA BASTIDE SAINT DOMINIQUE is a unique place in Courthézon, less than 1km from Chateau RAYAS, built around a 16th century chapel, at the foot of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape hills. The domain was created by Gérard and Marie-Claude Bonnet in 1976. Brother & sister Eric & Véronique BONNET perpetuated in 1999 the family tradition from their parents, bringing dynamism and modernity to what is today a magnificent 50-hectares estate divided into Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côtes du-Rhône, Côtes-du-Rhône Villages, Cairanne, Rasteau and IGP Mediterranean appellations.
La Bastide Saint Dominique has become a flagship estate, promising wines of complexity, full of indulgence and authenticity. "Bonnet's wines convey a balance of depth and vibrancy, with a strong emphasis on fruit expression, but stopping well short of being confected, jammy or roasted."-Vinous
"Lots of Bing cherry, melted licorice, roasted garrigue, and sweet black raspberry notes emerge from the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape, a rocking base cuvée that has fine, polished tannins, no hard edges, and terrific overall balance. Based on 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 7% Mourvèdre, and 3% Cinsault, it will have 10-15 years of ultimate longevity."— Jeb Dunnuck, 91-93 points!
Enjoy La Bastide Saint Dominique Chateauneuf du Pape with lamb chops, skirt steak, burgers and grilled vegetables.
Expert Reviews
This rich and full-bodied Chateauneuf has lovely silkiness and warm spice that make it a delight right now. The tannins are well crafted and build gently in the long, supple finish. A cuvee of 80% grenache, 10% syrah, 7% mourvedre and 3% cinsault. From vines under conversion to organic viticulture. Drink or hold.

Ripe strawberry, raspberry, red cherry and a pinch of licorice highlight the 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape, a full-bodied and juicy red that’s seamlessly outlined by smooth tannins. Easygoing and fragrant, the 2023 is shaping up nicely.
