Not yet bottled and based on 100% Grenache still aging in demi-muids, the 2019 Chateauneuf Du Pape L'Heritage De Pollus sports a deep ruby/plum color as well as impressive aromatics of morello cherries, Asian spices, peppery garrigue, and hints of saddle leather. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated, and nicely structured, it's a beautiful Chateauneuf du Pape in the making that will have 15 years of prime drinking.

All Grenache from the lieu-dit of Coste Froide, aged in demi-muids, the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape L'Heritage de Pollus offers up hints of scorched wood, mocha and black olives on the nose. It's full-bodied, rich, velvety and long, but the concentrated dark fruit notes lack precision and the cedary notes are a bit too prominent on the finish. Still, it may surprise with another few years in the cellar- this sample had apparently only recently been bottled.

However, the modern era for the property begins quite recently, 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 L’Eglise in 1978, the estate was known as Domaine de Saints Peres. Today, the property is owned by the Cardassi family. Domaine des Peres de L’Eglise owns 15 hectares in the Chateauneuf du Pape appellation. 13.5 hectares are planted for the production of red wine grapes. 1.5 hectares are reserved for the white wine, grape varieties.
The terroir for the red wine is clay and limestone soils. The vines are scattered over the Chateauneuf du Pape appellation with their best vines being planted in Les Bosquets, Cabrieres, Grand Pierre, Les Grands Serres, Terre Blanche, Vaudieu and Coste Froid.
