Beaucastel
RP - The 2001
Chateauneuf du Pape blanc (80% Roussanne and 20% Grenache Blanc, Picardin,
and Bourboulenc) is a buttery, smoky, rich example with a mineral-like
intensity, full body, and lavishly rich flavours that coat the palate with
honeysuckle, marmalade, and glycerine. |

DOMAINE
Le VIEUX DONJON
This estate is
run by Lucien Michel, his wife, Marie-José, and daughter Claire.
The White CNDP is refreshing and 'nutty', which makes a pleasant change
from the usual Chardonnay! |
|
|
An excellent estate that makes CNDP in
the traditional style.

Wine Spectator -
Shows floral and citrus
notes, with a hint of bitter almond and a long, firm, stony finish that
lets the citrus note linger. |

DOMAINE
ETIENNE GUIGAL
According to Robert Parker this is
one of the best domaine's in all of France, and certainly the TOP
source for excellent Condrieu and Hermitage.
Best known for their red wine top single vineyards of La Mouline, La
Turque and La Landonne; they also make excellent White Hermitage and
Condrieu wines which are really top-class! |

Condrieu
La Doriane
RP -
Guigal is the largest
producer of Condrieu, and he continues to augment his production from
this tiny appellation. His 2005 Condrieu La Doriane is one of the finest
he has ever made. The wine is just spectacular and in 2005 went through
100% malolactic. The wine is sensationally rich with notes of crushed
rocks, white peach, spring flowers, and some bee’s wax and tropical
oils. Totally profound, with fabulous acidity, amazing richness and
length, this is a stunner that should drink well for 4-5 years, possibly
longer. |
