2021 Château de Vaudieu "Les Vieilles Roussanne" Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc
99
Decanter
Review Date: 09/2022Richly aromatic, with deep pear and a touch of yellow melon. Lightly honeyed on the nose, then more noticeably so on the palate, with sweet oak spice melding with the sappy acidity. Powerful in flavour, but with great focus, clarity and freshness; this has huge length, without any excessive body. Good now, will be better in time. Grown on limestone soils, aged in barriques, 50% of which are new. Just 2,700 bottles produced. (MW)

Showing more precision than the 2020, the 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Les Vieilles Roussanne displays well-defined aromas of honeysuckle, dried lemon peel, pastry, almond, vanilla and freshly-cut fennel. Full-bodied and perfectly balanced by lively acidity, it wraps up with a resonating finish and should drink well over the next eight years. (NM)

Readers looking for a richer, more concentrated style of white should snatch up the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Vieilles Roussanne, a 100% Roussanne from the older vines on the estate. Its medium gold hue is followed by a terrific perfume of buttered orchard fruits, spice, mint, and chalky minerality. Balanced on the palate, it's medium-bodied, has a round, elegant mouthfeel, and a great finish.

An exuberant, opulent style, with warm apple, melon and plum layered with acacia honey and chamomile. Reveals brioche and hay accents on the creamy palate. Though heady and rich, a kick of quinine and some bitter tannins provide a well-matched frame. Drink now through 2025. (KB)
