2019 Domaine Des Peres De I’Eglise, Chateauneuf-Du-Pape L’Heritage De Pollus
2019 Domaine Des Peres De I’Eglise, Chateauneuf-Du-Pape L’Heritage De Pollus – 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 touch of savoriness black pepper, baking spices, and just a hint of bitter chocolate. Its got enough power that it will stand up to a robust French country dish such as cassoulet or andouiettes with garlic aioli, yet it also is rounded and mature enough to build and complement the meal, rather than overwhelm it.
Domaine des Peres de LEglise Chateauneuf du Pape is produced from a blend of 85 Grenache, 10 Syrah and 5 Mourvedre. The terroir is rocks, sand, limestone and clay soil. The grapes are spread out in various vineyards as they use vines planted in the Cabrieres, Coste Froide, les Grandes Serres and les Terres Blanches lieux-dits. The grapes are partially destemmed. The wine is aged in foudres, used, French oak barrels and tank.
95 Wine Enthusiast: A varietal Grenache sourced from century-old vines, this plummy, salt-rimmed sip juxtaposes ripe black-cherry and mulberry flavors against a thrilling minerality. It’s a big, muscular red but framed by fine, furry tannins and a tang of sun-baked clay and basalt. Delicious young, the wine is likely to improve further through at least 2030. (Editors’ Choice)
94 Wine Advocate: Round, plush and nearly seamless on the palate, the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape L’Heritage de Pollus is a suave, elegant example of this cuvée, which is all Grenache aged in demi-muids. Black cherries, dark chocolate, fine leather, cedar and mocha notes give the flavors a mainly dark profile, but brighter notes of red raspberries surface on the silky, lingering finish.
93 Jeb Dunnuck: The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape L’Heritage De Pollus is a smaller production release that’s all Grenache brought up in demi-muids. It too has notable freshness and vibrancy as well as impressive notes of spring flowers, incense, earth, blueberries, and black cherries. Elegant, medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, and with good structure, it’s going to keep nicely on its overall balance and purity.
Domaine Des Peres
Domaine des Peres de LEglise has a long history in the Southern Rhone Valley as the family has been involved in grape growing and wine making in the region dating back to 1884. However, the modern era for the property is quite recent with the start of high quality wines only beginning to take place with the 2007 vintage. Stepping back just a bit, prior to the birth of Domaine des Peres de LEglise in 1978, the estate was known as Domaine de Saints Peres. Today, the property is owned by the Cardassi family.
