This wine shows a bright acacia honey color with bright reflections. On the nose, we find white flowers aromas, associated with tropical fruits, roasted pear and fresh vanilla hints. It is a structured white wine, showing superb balance and vibrant freshness! We can drink it on the youth to enjoy of its freshness and minerality, or age it for a while to obtain evolving aromas, volume and a full-bodied wine. Ageing potential of more than 15 years.

Enjoy with bresse poultry with truffles, turbot with spiced mussel and clam broth, or goat cheeses with olive oil.

40% Grenache Blanc, 30% Roussanne, 30% Clairette aged in barrell for 4 months.

A tripartite blend of Clairette Blanche, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne, all from the lieu-dit of les Bédines, the 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Les Safres finishes its fermentation in barrel, spending four months in older oak. Hints of pencil shavings accent white peach and tangerine notes, while this full-bodied wine is round, ripe and lush on the palate, almost tropical in style, finishing long and creamy. Anticipated Maturity: 2023-2026
