Chateauneuf-du-Pape Barberini Blanc 2020 Domaine de la Solitude

Châteauneuf-du-Pape - Barberini blanc 2020

温度とともに表情が変わる、白の主役。

ルーサンヌを主体としたシャトーヌフ・デュ・パプの白。黄金がかった淡いイエローの色調から、白桃やアプリコット、洋梨の果実に、アカシアの花や蜂蜜、ヘーゼルナッツ、わずかなトースト香が重なります。口に含むと熟した果実の厚みとルーサンヌ由来のなめらかなテクスチャーが広がり、樽由来のバニラとミネラル感が調和。余韻には白胡椒やマーマレードの香味が続きます。ホタテとポルチーニのソテーや鶏のクリーム煮と。

Tasting note

Pale yellow colour with golden hues. The aroma that rises from the glass is rich, with white peach, apricot, and pear fruits layered with acacia flowers, honey, hazelnut, and a hint of toast. When you put it in your mouth, the thickness of the ripe fruit and the smooth texture of the Roussanne spread, and the vanilla and minerality from the barrel are in perfect harmony. The finish is long, with subtle aromas of white pepper and marmalade. This white wine combines power and elegance, and has great ageing potential.
