Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe, Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2019 Bodegas Montecillo

Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe, Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2019 Bodegas MontecilloOne of my favourite whites from the south of France is Daniel Brunier`s Chateaneuf du Pape Blanc and his 2019 is another stunning effort. Always a blend of Clairette, Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, and Bourboulenc brought up in foudre, this beauty boasts and exotic nose of honeyed peach, quince, crushed citrus, and salty minerality, all with a floral edge. Medium to full bodied on the palate with flawless balance and beautifully integrate acidity, enjoy
