WINE ADVOCATE – OCT. 31, 2017 – No 233 – JOE CZERWINSKI

89. Not to be overlooked are the white wines from the estate. The 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Clos La Roquete comes from a three-hectare plot divided equally among Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Roussanne. The grapes undergo fermentation using indigenous yeasts in oak vessels of varying sizes, no more than 10% of which are new. The result is a medium-bodied, slightly honeyed wine with notions of melon, tangerine and pineapple and a fresh, lime-zest finish.
