2011 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Saouma Magis

Now in bottle, the 2011 Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc Magis (75% Grenache Blanc, 10% Clairette, 10% Roussanne and 5% Bourboulenc) is another fabulous white from this estate. Light gold in color, it gives up knockout aromas and flavors of white currants and assorted stone fruit, crushed rock like minerality, brioche, vanilla cream and white flowers. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and layered effort that has impressive concentration, integrated acidity and a pure, seamless, elegant style that allows it to drink beautifully today, as well as evolve gracefully for over a decade.
