Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc 2024 Le Vieux Donjon

Professionelle Bewertungen

Jancis Robinson (17.50)

70% Clairette, 30% Roussanne. Fermented and aged for 3 months in stainless-steel tanks.
Tasted blind. Lime and mandarin aromas. Wonderful acidity here gives a streak of energy, vitality and vibrancy. Zippy and elegant, with good concentration of fruit as well. Impressive and very approachable but will flesh out in the bottle, too. (AC)

Vinous (90)

An enticing blend of 70% Clairette and 30% Roussanne, the 2024 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc unwinds with fresh pear, yellow apple, honeysuckle and a whiff of lemon flesh. Medium-bodied at a mere 13% alcohol, the 2024 carries impeccable freshness, winding down with notable length on the sapid finish. This is drinking really well today.

Decanter (93)

Juicy, sweet pear and yellow plum fruit, this is very open and accessible. No oak or excess alcohol. Bright and slightly tense, this has a firmness and intensity, a stoniness on the finish. I would keep for a few years at least, as it will relax and open more with time. Fermented and aged in stainless steel.
