2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Roussanne

Bright straw-gold. Ripe orange, nectarine and a pungent floral nuance on the nose, along with hints of candied ginger and honey. Silky and seamless in the mouth, offering juicy citrus fruit and pear nectar flavors and a touch of smoky minerality. Deepens steadily on the warm finish, which shows a velvety quality and no rough edges.
