Clos de L'Oratoire des Papes Blanc is a prestigious Chateauneuf-du-Pape originating from the Rhône Valley.
It is a blend of white grapes, divided into 30% Granche Blanc, 30% Clairette, 30% Roussane and 10% Bouboulenc. These grapes come from vineyards in different areas, however - with the exception of the Roussane vineyards - they have in common the presence of calcareous soils. After a brief maceration on the skins, fermentation and refinement take place inside steel containers.
Straw yellow, with golden reflections. On the nose it expresses its bouquet of peach, apricot and pear, with some notes of licorice to liven it up. The mineral flavor stands out, on a balanced background and on the persistence of a spicy trace of white pepper.
To pair with refined marinara risottos.
