The 2022 White Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a masterful blend of 60% Clairette and Roussanne, offering a harmonious balance of power, depth, and freshness. Precise aging enhances the wine's finesse, revealing delicate notes of anise and fennel that mingle with juicy white fruit aromas. The palate moves gracefully between generosity and tension, driven by remarkable energy and balance. This is a white of true virtuosity—impressive now, but with the potential to evolve beautifully over time. |
