  A blend of 30% Clairette, 30% Bourboulenc, 25% Roussanne, and the rest of Grenache, Picpoul and Picardan, this wine is a great example of an beautifully balanced white Chateauneuf-du-Pape. A way to prove this fact was to taste this beauty without chilling the bottle, thence having it at around 18°C. Plenty of white fruits compose with a certain load of white flowers with a great emergence of a apricot notes. This is a classic effort which has the potential of blowing you away with a ton of ageing. (89-90) points
