Domaine de la Charbonnière Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc

Wine Information
Grape Varieties: 40% Grenache Blanc, 20 % Clairette, 40% Roussanne
These grape varieties come from 2 different but complementary terroirs: the sandy soil "Mourre des Perdrix" and the soil "Brusquières"

Viticulture: Rigorous bud pruning. Furthermore, green harvesting and leaf thinning are done.
The picking is entirely by hand, with sorting in the vineyard and again in the cellar.
Vinification: manual harvest and sorting at the estate by vibrating table, destemming and crushing of the grapes.
Grenaches and Roussanne are aged 75% in stainless steel vats for seven months, with stirring on the lees. The rest is aged in new oak barrels for seven months, with regular batonnages. Clairette stays 100% in stainless steel vats for keeping fruit and freshness.
Tasting Notes: The nose is on fruits with yellow and white flesh, dominated by peach and exotic fruits.A few notes of vanilla and brioche bring an extra touch of fat. The richness of its mouth unfolds and ends with a mineral note.
