Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc 2020 | Rhône

A high-class white castle

The White Castle of the Old Donjon estate is one of the most surprising that can be enjoyed right now. Surprising by its freshness, purity and elegance, rarity on this appellation. The wines are often heavy, rich and a little pulpy. Made from an assembly of Roussanne and Clairette in equal parts, this white wine is vinified in stainless steel vats. This is what differentiates it from the others which are usually raised in concrete tanks or barrels.

Philippe Mischler, Sommelier at Mundovin: The Châteauneuf blanc du domaine du Vieux Donjon is one of the best of all names. It is distinguished by a style all in elegance and delicacy. The aromatics are well present in the youth and keep a good aging capacity. A great wine of gastronomy to taste during beautiful events.

On the nose, the wine reveals itself perfectly, it is pure, clear and clear. A fresh style with slightly exotic notes, on apricot, mirabelle, grapefruit. A very light floral side emerges after oxygenation. A very good first impression that makes you want to go to the tasting.

In the palate, the attack is invigorating, citrus notes and a slightly "pastry" side due to the Roussanne gradually emerges, without any heaviness. It is a wine that has a superb material, despite the fact that it was raised in stainless steel tank. He is distinguished by his depth and intensity. A superb Châteauneuf of the white pope not to be missed and whose quantities are even more limited than for the cuvée of Châteauneuf in red.
