Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Les Vieilles Roussannes Vaudieu 2017 (750ML)

94 Points, Josh Raynolds, Vinous: "Limpid straw-yellow. An intensely perfumed bouquet displays mineral-accented pear, orange pith and honeysuckle qualities. Offers energetic citrus and orchard fruit flavors that stain the palate and show outstanding clarity. Impressively concentrated yet light on its feet; the extremely long, penetrating finish features a suave, repeating floral note." 4/18

94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com: "Of the two whites, the 2017 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Vieilles Roussannes appears the be the clear winner in 2017. Brioche, caramelized apples, spice, and ample citrus notes all flow to a full-bodied, powerful, yet beautifully elegant Roussanne that will benefit from a year or two of bottle age." 8/18
