Châteauneuf du Pape: Domaine Pontifical Red 2016
Tasting Notes
Smooth and round with a long finish. Black fruit and raisin, 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 Châteauneuf du Pape is made in small quantities.
