Der Jahrgang
Das Jahr begann mit einem langen Winter, der darüber hinaus einer der trockensten in den vergangenen Jahren war. Gefolgt von einem kaum existierenden Frühling. Das Wachstum der Reben schritt auf Grund klimatischer Einflüsse nur sehr langsam voran. Die Arbeit der Winzer war daher entscheidend um bei geringer Menge qualitativ hochwertige Trauben zu ernten. Der Jahrgang 2013 war kompliziert und verspätet, ist jedoch wunderbar ausgeglichen und vielversprechend.

Verkostung
Beautiful golden colour.
The nose is slightly woody with an explosion of honey, peaches, exotic fruit and an exceptional richness and intensity.
The mouth has a remarkable texture, thick but fresh. We find notes of white flowers and honeysuckle, lavender, honey and orange zest. The balance is perfect especially with the minerality, coming from the limestone, gives this wine a great texture. A great vintage of Roussanne Vieilles Vignes.

Bewertungen
"Similar in color to the classic white, the 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape Roussanne Vieilles Vignes is deeper and richer, with more viscosity, glycerin and minerality. Loaded with notes of buttered citrus, flowers, orange marmalade and crushed-rock nuances, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied power, juicy, lively acidity and terrific length. Like the classic white, this does not go through malolactic
fermentation, but sees slightly more oak (some new) in its élevage, which always gives it slightly more richness, as well as hints of vanilla in its youth. It’s unquestionably the greatest white wine coming from the Southern Rhône, and while I prefer to drink it in its first 4-6 years, it can evolve for decades."

"Ripe and bright, with gorgeous creamed peach, pear and ginger notes forming the core, while verbena, chamomile and honeysuckle accents create the frame. Lush through the finish, where a light salted butter hint emerges."
"2013 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Roussanne Vieilles Vignes (aged in a 50/50 blend of stainless steel tanks and oak barrels for eight months): Light, vivid gold. Intensely perfumed aromas of poached pear, orange, candied fig and jasmine slowly acquire a hint of fennel. Smooth, sappy and expansive on the palate, offering rich, mineral-laced orchard fruit and pit fruit flavors that show a suave blend of richness and energy. Finishes very long and sappy, displaying excellent clarity and building mineral and floral notes."
