#AgedWineTuesday
Golden in color.
Beautiful nose of citrus, apples, pears, light earth, nuts and spices.
Full-bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with lemons, citrus, apples, spices, light oak and earth.
Long finish with citrus and apples.
This 10 year old Roussanne from Châteauneuf-du-Pape is drinking beautifully now. Elegant and nicely balanced.
Still showing lots of fruits and drinking at its peak. Will continue to do so in the next 5 to 7 years.
Complex and interesting with a nice mouthfeel. Nicely balanced, soft and smooth.
A great sipping wine, easy drinking and better when not too cold.
100% Roussanne grapes from old vines, were handpicked and aged in new French oak barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$90.

Light golden in color.
Pretty nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing lemons, yellow apples, spices, light earth and herbs.
Long finish with lemons.
This is a delicious Roussanne from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Well balanced with nice complexity. Rich, and showing lots of fruits.
Not a traditional Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc in style, and very interesting.
Fruity, and already Delicious. Elegant and feels very young. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.
Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.
100% Roussane grapes from old vines, were aged for 6 months in new French oak barrels. A small production of only 7,000 bottles.

Fully roussane, with a good amount of oak. Still balanced and very nice.
