If you ever wondered why roussanne is something special in the Southern Rhone, here is the proof. Powerful, concentrated and full-bodied, but with terrific structure and length. Stone fruit flavors. The interaction of fine tannins and salty minerality drives the super-long finish. From a site with sandy soil and a northerly exposure. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.

The 2024 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Roussanne is very promising, wafting from the glass with aromas of ripe orchard fruits, spices, white flowers and citron oil. Full-bodied, suave and seamless, it is ample and layered, with a lively spine of acidity that carries into a long, spicy and saline finish. This pure Roussanne shows real tension and precision, vinified and matured in a combination of new barrels and foudres. Undoubtedly, it stands among the white wines of the vintage.
Winemaker Notes
The Domaine's emblematic vintage in terms of white wines, this 100% Roussane, made from grapes grown on sandy terroirs exposed to the north, seduces with its remarkable aromatic richness and a memorable saline finish!
