Domaine des Pères de L’Eglise – Le Calice de Saint Pierre 2019 – Châteauneuf-du-Pape

The nose is racy and offers a fine power, a good definition as well as a juicy/fresh beautiful fruit. This wine should be decanted. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy lemon, juicy/fresh mandarine, small notes of apple flowers associated with small touches of fresh apricot, tilleul, apple flowers, a racy minerality as well as a very discreet hint of lime and an imperceptible hint of spices. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a juicy/acidulous frame, a good definition, precision, gourmandize as well as suavity, a good purity of the fruit, a small fat, a fine unctuosity, a fine tension and a good finesse of the grain. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy apple, juicy nectarine, small notes of juicy pink lychee associated with small touches of apple flowers, lemon flowers, quenette, acacia as well as very fine hints of bee wax, toasted. Good length. A very discreet tannic hint, sapidity, a beautiful touch as well as a very discreet hint of dry almond on the finish/persistence. A beautiful gourmand wine on the fruit.
