Tasting Notes
Smooth and round with a long finish. Nose of cooked red fruit, Black fruit and raisin on the palate, extremely velvety.
A truly classy wine made by a dedicated wine-grower. The dominance of Grenache brings a sense of fullness and richness.

Domaine Pontifical
Family owned since the 1920s, this 15-hectare vineyard is now run by Francois Laget. Grenache is the dominant grape, complemented by Syrah, Mourvedre and Cinsault – and some particularly delicious white Chateauneuf du Pape is made in small quantities.
