Vieux Télégraphe Blanc 2017
Châteauneuf du pape
Vignoble Brunier
Tasting:
"VT's 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is a blend of 45% Clairette, 30% Grenache Blanc, 15% Roussanne and 10% Bourboulenc, fermented in a mix of foudres, demi-muids and barriques. It's medium to full-bodied but tight, with crisp lime, lemon and pear notes carried on a silky-textured palate. You could give the inner richness the time it needs (2-3 years) to emerge and soften the subtle citrus zest notes on the finish." Joe Czerwinski
