Châteauneuf-du-Pape
The nose is intense and expressive, with a beautiful aromatic palette. White-fleshed fruit aromas, such as pear and white peach, harmonize with citrus notes. Roussanne adds a delicate floral touch, with nuances of white flowers and acacia. The 30% of the production aged in barrels for 4 months confers subtle notes of vanilla, brioche and a hint of hazelnut, which blend harmoniously with the fresher aromas of the vats.
On the palate, this Châteauneuf-du-Pape blanc is both rich and vibrant. Grenache Blanc adds roundness and fatness, Clairette offers freshness and liveliness, while Roussanne adds complexity and length on the palate. The texture is velvety, with a beautiful structure that suggests excellent ageing potential. White fruit and citrus flavors dominate, accompanied by light spicy and mineral notes. Partial barrel ageing gives a subtle woody sensation, without weighing the wine down, but rather adding an extra dimension of depth and complexity.
The finish is long and elegant, marked by a fine minerality and persistent freshness that perfectly balance the wine's richness. Fruit aromas and floral notes linger, accompanied by a light buttery touch that heralds exceptional ageing potential.
