Decanter
Review Date: 09/2022Great concentration this year, making for a really intense, sappy Roussanne; pear tarte tatin flavours, alongside the intense cigar tobacco, cedar and sandalwood. Dense and concentrated, it's weightier than the 2020 vintage, and riper and denser than most 2021 Châteauneuf blancs. Huge length. The oaking is robust, it shows quite strongly so give this time. All aged in oak, half new, half one-year-old, mostly demi-muids. (MW)

Notes
5 stars from John Livingstone-Learmonth in Cradle of The Rhône: "quite a full yellow robe; the bouquet has quiet authority, class, a hint of tropical fruit such as mango, with a fine and cool lemon-citrus tone, and some classic Roussanne that hasn’t been harvested too ripe white flowers. This is a quality white - the nose tells that tale. The palate is well poised, gives a stream of engaging white fruits, peach and a note of apricot, with a smoky coil from the oak on the closing stages. The attack is extremely fine, most inviting. This will beguile in its first years, but can develop more majesty if drunk around 10 years’ old. Bottled June 2022." (10/2022)
