Clos La Roquète Châteauneuf-du-Pape White Rhône Blend 2020

Clos Roquète is a white Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine produced by Frédéric & Daniel Brunier of Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe with a fascinating history to tell…  

Châteauneuf-du-Pape (CNdP) is a highly-esteemed commune located in the Southern Rhône of France. It gets its name, “new castle of the Pope,” because the Pope spent his summers there in the 14th Century when the papacy was relocated to nearby Avignon.
 
This wine is made from 35% Clairette, 35% Roussanne, and 30% Grenache Blanc (all local, white varieties), each adding a unique aromatic and structural dimension. It was aged 11 months in oak prior to release, lending richness and texture.
 
Despite its rich, creaminess, it also has aromatic lift with notes of lemon peel, ripe cantaloupe, white peach, apricot, next to notes of white blossom, vanilla, honey, fennel, and petrichor (a fancy word for the smell of warm, wet pavement like after a summer rain).  

We’re excited to pair this with a lemon, garlic, and herb roasted shrimp over spiralized zucchini noodles.
 
Cheers to beautiful wines that tell stories and share histories!

Le Pigeoulet Vaucluse White Rhone Blend 2019

I really adored this wine in part because a good QPR always makes me smile. Rich, decadent, perfectly in balance. Smells like heavily spiced vanilla almond and fuzzy peach skin. It's oily and round with beauty in texture. — 7 months ago

How do you like the new Zalto’s? Near impossible to find the Universals.

My favorite glass for reds and some white. Not great for all white (Riesling for example). 10/10 for Pinot. They are on Amazon - $15 above retail but free to ship if you’re prime and it costs $15 to ship directly…

Appreciate the response. Will be ordering some from Amazon. Universals were good for Riesling. Need to find an alternative. Thanks.

Vignobles Brunier Gigondas 2005

A terrific elderly bottle of Gigondas. All earth, herb, and mushrooms, with fruit taking a backseat at this juncture. Not at all tired. Still energetic and lovely. — 2 years ago

This review is for the white blend. Love it! Medium body, kinda rich and mineral. Long finish. Great acidity but very balanced. — 3 years ago
