Tasting Notes

With its freshness and aromatic brilliance, this white wine captivates with its evolving complexity throughout the tasting. Fruity, subtly honeyed, and marked by elegant minerality, it offers a lively, crystalline mouthfeel and a light, persistent finish. The cool, late 2024 vintage allowed for slow grape maturation, preserving finesse and aromatic intensity.

Vineyards

The Domaine’s white Châteauneuf-du-Pape is made with grapes from three plots. Roussanne grows in Les Serres, Grenache Blanc in Le Revès, and Clairette come from Bois de la Ville. Although Roussanne isn’t typical of a Châteauneuf-du-Pape white grape, it brings aromatics, finesse and elegance to the wine, whereas the Grenache Blanc and Clairette bring freshness and structure. This terroir, full of round pebbles, is characteristic of the appellation and bestows an all-important ageing ability to the wine. Elegance and length are the main characteristics of this wine.

Winemaking

The Roussanne is harvested in late August to avoid becoming overripe while Grenache Blanc and Clairette are picked at beginning of September. The grapes are destemmed and fermented together. The wine is then aged for six months in concrete vats to preserve its freshness and purity of fruit. It rests in bottles for at least three months before release.
