The 1997 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Classique blanc (47% Grenache Blanc, 20% Roussanne, 17% Clairette, and 16% Bourboulenc is aged in both tank and barrique. In order to preserve its crisp acidity, the wine is not put through malolactic fermentation. An excellent white Chateauneuf, it offers a lemony, citrusy, honeyed personality, an exuberant, richly fruity style, medium to full body, fine purity, and nicely integrated, subtle wood notes.
