Always all Roussanne, the 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Fontaine Blanc comes from organically grown grapes and was brought up entirely in oak. It's a brilliant white that would compete with a Grand Cru White Burgundy with its smoky stone fruits, brioche, crushed stone, and floral aromatics. Full-bodied on the palate, with a deep, layered mouthfeel, huge richness, and a great finish, this is legit, awesome white wine that I'd be thrilled to have in the cellar. I love it today, yet I see no reason it shouldn't evolve gracefully for at least a decade.
What We Thought: A dramatic honeysuckle and stone fruit nose leads to a palate that manages to be very rich and viscous without being cloying. It’s filled with flavors of lemon custard and ripe apricot with notes of orange peel and spice and a clean, bright finish.
