Paul Jourdan’s Cuvée Papale is a classic, richly layered Châteauneuf-du-Pape—aromatic, powerful, and full of southern Rhône character, crafted in a timeless style.

🍷 In the Glass
Deep garnet red—dark and expressive.

Intense and ethereal, with notes of kirsch, Asian spice, roasted meat, and a hint of garrigue herbs and earthiness.

Full-bodied and enveloping, with a rich, savoury texture. Flavours of ripe red cherry, spice, and smoked game unfold over fine-grained tannins, leading to a long, complex finish.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Ideal with roasted lamb, beef stew, wild game, or aged hard cheeses.

⏳ Ageing Potential
Beautiful now with decanting, or cellar for 8–12 years for further depth and nuance.

💫 Why You’ll Love It
