Châteauneuf-Du-Pape Blanc Clos La Roquette - 2007 - Domaine de la Roquette
Ref: A054107
When the Brunier family bought la Roquette in 1986, no one really realised the potential of this extraordinary 40-hectare estate. The domaine is made up from a number of fragmented parcels of very old vines (average age 45 years-old), situated in three distinctive zones on the rocky plateau to the north of the town of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Our long-standing partnership with Daniel and Frédéric Brunier has proved extremely fruitful as this is an estate that has leap-frogged into the top division in the past five years or so.

The 2007 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc is a fine white Châteauneuf and continues to be one of the best white wines to be found from this appellation. An exceptional honey-suckle and acacia nose (with 25% Roussanne now incorporated in to the blend) leads you in to a very concentrated palate of apricots and peaches, finishing on a finely honed note of acidity. Bravo Daniel, this is another fine accomplishment! The wine is a blend of Roussanne (25%), Bourboulenc (10%), Grenache Blanc (30%) and Clairette (35%).
