| Description: | Jeb Dunnuck 99 Points - "One of my favorite whites in the world is the old vine Roussanne cuve from Beaucastel, which comes from a single 3-hectare parcel just outside the domaine, in the northern, cooler part of Chteauneuf du Pape. The 2019 Chteauneuf Du Pape Roussanne Vieilles Vignes is another thrilling example of Roussanne and offers a vivid gold hue as well as gorgeous notes of white currants, honeysuckle, white flowers, crushed stone, and hints of gunpowder. With beautiful freshness, full-bodied richness, and ample power, its unquestionably the Montrachet of the Southern Rhne and a magical white. You can safely drink bottles anytime over the coming decade, then its best forgotten until around 20 years after the vintage.". Wine Advocate 98 Points - "There are a mere 500 cases of the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Roussanne Vieilles Vignes, which derives from vines planted in 1909. Showing fabulous richness and opulence allied to an impeccable sense of balance and nearly infinite persistence, it's a tour de force of white Chteauneuf. Hints of roasted pineapple and grilled lime mark the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate boasts layers of honeyed, creamy decadence yet remains dry, zesty and refreshing at the same time. Like most great wines, it's a study in seeming contradictions drawn together into seamless elegance. While there's a chance this wine may go through a quiescent phase, it's singing now, and if history is any indication, it will also drink well in a decade or so." |
