Château de Vaudieu 2018 Les Vieilles Roussannes Roussanne (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
Cellar Selection
Sourced entirely from a single vineyard of limestone soil, this varietal Roussanne offers bold white melon and apple flavors swathed in honey, vanilla cream and spice. Fermented and matured en barrique (50% new), it's an unctuous, waxy sip etched by lingering woody tones. Flamboyant in its youth, but it should gain elegance through the next decade and beyond.
