5 Stars & 93 points - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"Sweetly fruited with spicy nuances, the wine shows dark berry, clove, nutmeg, game and toasted nut aromas on the nose, followed by a generously flavoursome palate offering excellent fruit intensity well framed by fine grainy tannins with a lingering savoury finish." Sam Kim

Legend has it that along their long path of spiritual reflection, Popes enjoyed a Cotes du Rhone famous for expressing the richness and excellence of the local land to perfection. The wine was naturally baptised Chemin des Papes – the Path of the Popes.

Deep ruby red outlined with a dark purple tinge. Intense, fine and fruity aromas, with spicy undertones. Round and elegant. 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 10% other grape varieties from the Rhône valley. Machine harvests. Traditional vinification, maceration for 8 days with fermentation under controlled temperature. Ideal partner to grilled joints of meat as well as veal or duck dishes.

Great price on this classic, french and wintry red.
