In times past, Popes would spend their papacy performing tasks of a more spiritual and mystical nature than political.

Chemin des Papes Cotes-du-Rhone pours with a deep ruby in color emphasized by dark purple reflections. The bouquet is intense preserved fruit aroma with spicy notes. The mouth shows a firm attack, slightly spirit, that is well rounded and elegant. A good intense and lasting aromatic expression.
