6000本の生産量しかないこのワインは、フランスの白ワインの最高峰の一つとして認められています。ルーサンヌ100％で造られ、やや過熟したブドウを収穫します。3年以内の若いうち、もしくは15年以上寝かせてから飲むのが良いでしょう。素晴らしいお料理と合わせてお楽しみ下さい。
ヴィンテージ
ここ近年でもっとも乾燥した長い冬から始まったヴィンテージで、春は感じられませんでした。気候変動によりブドウの成熟は非常に遅く、少ない収量の中で良い品質のブドウを得る為に、ワインメーカーの仕事は重要なものとなりました。2013年はややこしい年でしたが、素晴らしいバランスを備えた非常に期待のできるヴィンテージです。

レビュー
"Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Roussanne Vieilles Vignes (aged in a 50/50 blend of stainless steel tanks and oak barrels for eight months): Pale yellow- gold. Explosive, mineral-accented aromas of tangerine, poached pear and jasmine show superb clarity and pick up ginger, nougat and chamomile nuances as the wine opens up. Juicy, densely packed citrus and orchard fruit avors thoroughly stain the palate and become more energetic with air. The mineral and oral notes come back emphatically on the strikingly long and incisive nish, which shows impressive, nervy tenacity and focus."
"A big step up over the classic cuvee (which isn’t always a given), the 2014 Châteauneuf du Pape Roussanne Vieilles Vignes is 100% Roussanne from ancient vines, some of which are over 100 years in age. A deeper, richer version of the traditional cuvee, it reveals a medium-gold color to go with sensational notes of white currants, quince, brioche, honeysuckle and lemon curd. Full-bodied, beautifully concentrated and rich, yet with plenty of acidity, drink this elegant, balanced beauty anytime over the coming 2-3 decades."

"This is on the bold side of the ledger, with a nearly exotic display of creamed peach, mango and papaya flavors, lined with just enough light citrus and floral notes to stay honest. Piecrust and orange sabayon details line the finish. Drink now through 2024. 500 cases made."
"100% roussanne planted in 1909, there’s a low yielding concentration.
The richness and texture is impressive,but it has a lightness, too. Bright
peach and chalky minerals, with iodine and saline. Fresh and long. A great vintage with decades ahead."

"Now 11 years old, this is taking on some colour, a touch of gold. Lovely open nose of almond, quince jelly and poached pears, which are repeated on the palate, with a touch of saffron to the pear fruit. Delightful sense of tension, it’s very fresh, saline and beginning to take on mineral notes. It smells 'like opening a beehive’, according to winemaker César Perrin. Lovely sense of freshness and tension, it has now arrived at its mineral phase and is drinking brilliantly. From a single parcel of Roussanne, planted in 1919 and grown biodynamically."
