Chemin des Papes Côtes du Rhône 2023

93 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team
93 POINTS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"Delightfully fruited with savoury nuances, the wine shows dark plum, warm spice, thyme, and toasted nut characters on the nose. It's succulent and plump in the mouth, delivering fleshy texture and layers of polished tannins, finishing long and flavoursome. At its best: now to 2029."

"A bright southern Rhône style with cherry and blackcurrant aromas with hints of chocolate and liquorice. Medium bodied, fresh and well balanced with a stunning explosion of ripe red berry fruits on the finish. Ideal with slow cooked lamb or on its own!"

In times past, Popes would spend their papacy performing tasks of a more spiritual and mystical nature than political. Legend has it that along their long path of spiritual reflection, Popes enjoyed a Côtes du Rhône famous for expressing the richness and abundance of the local land to perfection. The wine was naturally baptised Chemin des Papes, the Path of the Popes.
