note
91/100 – JEB DUNNUCK
“A blend of 55% Grenache Blanc, 25% Roussanne, and 20% Clairette, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc is impressive, with classic aromas and flavors as well as this terrific salinity and mineral component. Brought up all in tank, it has a ripe, exotic nose of honeysuckle, orange marmalade, and spice, medium to full-bodied richness, and good underlying spine of acidity, It’s going to shine on the dinner table.”
Terroir
The 4 terroirs, the 13 grape varieties and the Mistral wind are the three great assets of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. The pebbles, the trademark of the appellation, give back to the grapes the heat stored during the day. They contribute to a perfect ripening of the berries.
For our white Châteauneuf-du-pape, we have selected grapes from more than 40 different plots, located on the coolest terroirs of the appellation.
