Chateau de Vaudieu, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Les Vieilles Roussanne

At 65,00€ this can hardly be called a budget wine, but it is worth every eurocent and about the best white Châteauneuf I drank so far. Made from 100% old Roussanne vines aged in new and 1 year old barriques it has a beautiful golden yellow color and a smell and taste bursting with ripe citrus fruit, peaches, melons , pineapple and a striking minerality. All this with remarkable freshness and equilibrium and a 30 sec.+ final. At first sight …

Produced from 100% old vine Roussanne, the wine is packed with white peaches, honeysuckle, flowers and sweet lemon rind on the nose and palate. Rich, full, deep, oily and long, the finish keeps on going with its layers of sweet, ripe, fresh, vibrant white and yellow fruits that express a beautiful sense of purity along with a nice mineral touch in the finish. Drink from 2022 - 2034
