A papal wine that draws its power and confidence from the soil of different vineyards situated in the north, east and the center of the appellation. Fine sands, red clay and sandstone, contribute to the overall picture, especially the vineyards called «Le Pradel» and «La Font du Pape». The translation of the Provencal name of the latter location refers to relatively humid soils on which Syrah, or its ancestor, the Sérine, expresses with particular freshness. The traditional blending of different vineyards and historical grape varieties of the region, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Counoise, finds its raison d’être in the elegance and harmony of the wines it produces.

Lifted and fresh, this perfumed style has pretty raspberry and red berry flavors, detailed with white pepper, dried flowers and shiso leaf. Reveals a racy edge to the palate, with generous savory, herbaceous notes woven in. Graceful and lean, with firmness and focus. Grenache and Syrah. Drink now through 2032. 1,020 cases made, 112 cases imported.
