Domaine Saint Préfert
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Clairette Blanche
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
What a treat! I was worried about this, being over 10 years old, but it grossly exceeded all expectations. It’s nice to have a pure 100% Clairettes.

17.5+ deep gold. But no oxidation. White fruits, yes , but more complex than that. Very full on palate. Might say profound? M+ length.

2016v. Very pale gold. On the nose, it smells yellow apple and grape juice. On the palette, there is an intense, deep grape flavor from the clairette, a little bit of body and back of the mouth waxiness from the roussane, and clean acidity. A lovely wine on its own. I drank it with some firm cheeses. A little bit delicate, so dont be too bold with food pairings. Bought from the domaine in CDP after running around the cellar with the wine's attendant, Ms. Helène Bleuzen, who is destined to be a famous future name in winemaking. 13.5% ABV.

Unbelievably unique and gorgeous! Starts off more like a Chablis than anything else. Just continues to open and expand as it moves towards room temperature.
