Domaine des Pères de l’Eglise, Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge "L’Heritage de Pollus", Rhone Valley, France 2019
LOGANBERRY & BLACK CHERRY, MAJESTIC SPICE BOX, DRIED FLOWERS
Comprised almost entirely of Grenache (century-old vines), the cuvée “L’Heritage de Pollus” oozes intense, violet fruit and a most exotic potpourri of garrigues, rose petal, dried persimmon, and cinnamon. Arguably more seductive and mysterious than massive or brooding, it is absolutely enchanting!
Serving Suggestion: Christmas goose (or duck) w/ rosemary, thyme, orange zest, nutmeg, & cinnamon. Serve w/ smashed potato & port gravy.
