Note di degustazione
This is Isabel Ferrando's Henri Bonneau inspired 100% Clairette Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc cuvée made from a single plot of 80-year-old vines. Just 800 magnums are produced each year. Yet to be tasted by the critics and unlikely to, given its rarity. The 2019 vintage was a huge success for Domaine Saint-Préfért producing some of the best wines ever produced at the estate. It is also the last vintage to be labelled Domaine Saint-Préfért. From the 2020 vintage the wines are labelled Famille Isabel Ferrando.

Only 800 magnums of the 2019 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Cuvée Spéciale Vieilles Clairettes were bottled, making it quite hard to find. Deep lemon-colored, it soars from the glass with fragrant aromas of spring flowers, candied lemon peel, dried ginger, ripe nectarine and peach, honey, almond and petrol. Showing remarkable tension and precision, it is medium to full-bodied, incredibly dense but at the same time also quite light on its feet. This magnificent white shows excellent freshness on the sapid finish, lingering on for well over a minute.

Always one of the top white wines of the appellation, the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Cuvee Speciale Vieilles Vignes de Clairette sets hints of toast against deep white peach flavors. Medium to full-bodied and gloriously silky in texture, it wonderfully balances the richness of the vintage with vibrant, lime-zest flavors to finish long, briny and satisfying.
