Domaine Santa Duc Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Habemus Papam' 2017

This textbook expression of Châteauneuf-du-Pape is everything you want from the appellation: it’s rich, it’s balanced, and it’s insanely food-friendly on the table. Savory notes of red and black fruits, damn earth, and exotic spice lead to a round and supple finish. Fruit for this wine is hand-picked, whole-bunch fermented, and aged for 18 months in casks and terracotta jars. Sip with lamb, grilled red meats, or lentil-based stews.
