Wow. Yellow fruited and salty and mineral. Waxy, buttery and opulent but with good balancing acid and mineral structure. Buttery, salty. So good.

Honeyed peach, canned pineapple,
orchard blossoms, candied floral notes. Not at all super oxidized like a lot of southern Rhône wines can fall victim to.

Drinking with Mom, Dad, and Emily in France at Alain Jaume! Color is hay. Nose is sweet as well as the Viogner but with a nose of chestnuts and honey. Surprisingly dry and bright. Also honey and nuts here. Very nice balance.

Distinctive. Rich and textured, good acidity, a strong player in the evening’s dinner.

Smooth like velvet - highly recommend this CDP - had it with filet mignon with sauce prepared with this wine, carrot, shallots, porcini and potatoes au gratin

After 15 years of bottle age, this white Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a beautiful lemon yellow color. Dry with some nice minerals and a stone fruit finish.
