Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Pretty nose of white flowers with citrus fruits.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with lemons, apples, pears, light earth, herbs and spices.
This is a very tasty white wine from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Rich and inviting, with a soft mouthfeel. Nicely balanced, complex and elegant.
Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already enjoyable even by itself. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 years.
A touch buttry, fresh and easy drinking. A good quality wine, and good by itself or with food.
A blend of 35% Clairette, 35% Grenache Blanc, 15% Roussanne and 15% Bourboulenc. A small production of only 3,000 bottles.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$50.

At Racines. Served at a reasonable 50F or so. Faint citrus, apricot-tang, booze sticks out in an unbalanced way. Like a glass of whiskey. After 1 1/2hrs alcohol finally integrated with the rest of the wine. Lychee fruit popped out, became all together another wine....fruit fwd, subtle. Wish we had it decanted.

Feeling HOT HOT HOT. As in alcohol. It's a correct wine from a varietal standpoint but wow is it a throat burner. Too young.

Not bad for a CdP blanc, which is still not that good.
