Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc

Vintage 2021 | minerals and flint in smell, which is powerfull, nice bitters in taste, long aftertaste. Joyful wine.

16/20 (90/100)

Penetrating complex vibrant yet smooth finish

Grenache Blanc dominate went very well with grilled sea bream, grilled white asparagus and favas

A flat uninspiring Rousanne.

Drink now.

Note, this was a white. Lovely on a warm Dutch day. Crisp with some fruit and butter. Not very acidic, but left some interesting citrus noses. Definitely a buy!

Pure rousanne. Quite good should benefit from a few yrs of age.floral lovely. !

The nose is full of sour apple and nuts. Uh oh this is oxidized. The wine had been opened for 2 hours now and these scents tend to remain in there. This is a pity because the palate shows less of these oxidized stamps with a lot of matter, a strong acid backbone, a soft and oily touch on the sides, some white flowers all along, and a rich and nice finish with white flowers and white fruits. Some spices in there too. What a pity this has started oxidize because there is matter and life in there.
