Vieux Donjon 2012 Blanc Châteauneuf-du-Pape

50% Clairette blanche, 50% Roussanne  steel vat fermented, steel vat raised 3 months, malo blocked, first wine 1993, “either drink in its first 2-3 years then be patient, for 10 years, for example, for a different, more complex style,” Claire Michel. This from drinkrhone - "pale yellow, green glints. Soft, appealing white fruits’ aroma, with light spice in the white plum fruit, along with an orange peel air – the bouquet is attractive, supple, welcoming. The palate has a winning gras richness, a smooth texture and citrus notes. The flavours resemble infused tea such as linden (tilleul) and apricot. It combines the magic 2012 formula of freshness and richness. Good with a smoked tuna and cold tomato dish. Up to sauced dishes – poultry, fish. Good harmony here, and length. Traditional in the sense of being a wine for la table. 14.5%" Fully mature, enjoy now!
