Domaine des Peres de l'Eglise Chateauneuf-du-Pape Heritage de Pollus 2019

L'Héritage de Pollus is a 100% Grenache from 100-year old vines planted by the estate's ancestor nicknamed “Pollus” on the terroir of the Coste Froide lieu-dit. The glass opens with a profound expression of blackberries, ripe plums, and currants. Full-bodied on the palate, this wine is right in the prime of its maturity: the fruit flavors seamlessly integrate with a touch of savory black pepper, baking spices, and just a hint of bitter chocolate. It has enough power that it will stand up to a robust French country dish such as cassoulet or andouillettes with garlic aioli, yet it also is rounded and mature enough to build and complement the meal, rather than overwhelm it.
