Beyond explanation a white Chateauneuf that drinks like a White Burgundy and for us to be exclusive importers for Clos Saouma in Texas that's an honor

2011 vintage. With Mounir Saouma at Tempura Seiju in Tokyo. Wonderful nose reminiscent of Corton Charlemagne - wood and hazelnut nose. Some vanilla and spice. Complex. On the palate, smooth and moorish. Tropical fruit and riper stone fruit flavours. Some depth here. The fresh acidity fooled me as to origin although I understand this is principally (70%+) Grenache Blanc rather than Roussane / Clairette blend. The finish is not quite as long as hoped. But excellent wine. Drink now until 2027.
