Châteauneuf du Pape Aoc Blanc – Font de Crau – Domaine de la Graveirette
Vinification: A harmonious blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Clairette, and Picardin, flourishes in the sandy soils of Font de Crau. Carefully pressed in a basket press, it ferments for a year in French oak demi-muids, enhancing its character. The wine is delightfully precocious, unfolding with vibrant freshness and intricate layers, making it both delightful to enjoy now and promising for future aging.
Tasting Note: This wine offers a rich yet balanced profile, showcasing delightful aromas of green apple, apricot, and pear alongside hints of honey and citrus, particularly lime and lemon. Its full-bodied character is complemented by a silky palate, fine minerality, and a fresh undertone that enhances its complexity. The golden-green hue and well-integrated acidity lead to a lingering finish, marked by a subtle bitterness, making it a powerful and memorable white wine experience.
