Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Clos Roquète Blanc 2023, Domaine Brunier

Domaines Brunier

Wonderfully aromatic with white flowers, jasmine and flint on the nose. On the palate ripe with juicy stone fruit, a lovely bitterness and anise.

Drink with a goats cheese tart or charcuterie

Vines are planted on soil comprised of red clay and galets roulés. A leaner vintage, 2021 lent itself to whites with a more marked minerality than is typical for Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Harvested on a sunny morning in late August, grapes from La Roquète—equal parts Clairette, Roussanne, and Grenache Blanc. The wine ages in barrel for 8 months before bottling
