Note di degustazione
A blend of 65% Roussanne, 25% Clairette and the rest Grenache Blanc and Bourboulenc, the 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc shows the richer side to the vintage with its caramelized fruits, buttered citrus and honeycomb aromas and flavors. It’s a big, fat, unctuous beauty that stays fresh and lively on the palate. Drink it over the coming 3-4 years.

Vivid yellow. Intense orchard and pit fruits on the mineral-accented nose; vibrant orange zest, iodine and floral notes add urgency and lift. Sappy and penetrating on the palate, offering concentrated nectarine, pear and tangerine flavors that are given vibrancy by a core of juicy acidity. Impressively focused and nervy on the long, mineral- and floral-tinged finish, which shows outstanding clarity and thrust. There's something Chablis-like about this wine.
Looking first at their white and one of the richer, more textured releases from the Armenier sisters, the 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc (65% Roussanne, 25% Clairette and the rest Grenache Blanc and Bourboulenc, vinified in barrel and aged in stainless steel) offers rounded, layered notes of white peach, citrus and mint in a medium to full-bodied, beautifully textured style on the palate. This beauty will shine with food over the coming 3-4 years
