Wine:
With a dominant grenache blanc, the 2022 White Châteauneuf-du-Pape immediately transports you into the realm of the appellation's great wines. Its very fresh nose, blending floral scents with hints of linden, hints at perfectly ripened grapes. The palate reveals some generosity, a rich and opulent body, complemented by a pleasant fatness and breadth, which beautifully highlight its aromas. A pure and delightful ensemble, best paired with poultry or a well-prepared fish. Rated 92/100 by the Committee.Vinification:
