2019 Châteauneuf du Pape blanc La Fontaine Alain Jaume

Bright golden yellow color in the glass. Very complex bouquet with impressions of citrus fruits, exotic fruits, quince and honey, accompanied by a light vanilla note. On the palate it is powerful and well structured. An impressive wine with richness, generous character and excellent freshness. Often considered one of the greatest white wines of Châteauneuf du Pape in the appellation. 100% Roussanne.

Jeb Dunnuck 95 points: A tiny production, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape La Fontaine Blanc is beautifully done and certainly ranks with the top wines of the vintage. Based on 100% Roussanne, it has a smoking bouquet of buttered citrus, caramelized white currants, toasted bread, and a touch of nuttiness to go with a medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated style on the palate. With bright acidity, good mid-palate depth, and a great finish, this serious Roussanne can be enjoyed now or cellared for 10-15 years, if no longer.
