Domaine Saint-Préfert - Famille Isabel Ferrando -Châteauneuf-du-Pape - Blanc - 2022

Wine:

Blended from Clairette (60%) and Roussanne, the 2022 white Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a superb wine that combines power, depth, and freshness. The perfect management of aging, which enhances the juice with great finesse, releases aniseed and fennel accents, mingling with juicy white fruits. The structure alternates between generosity and tension, offering great dynamism and fabulous balance. A virtuoso white wine, it is worth cellaring, yet already so irresistible…
