Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc, Dom de Marcoux

Note:

The 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape blanc may be Domaine de Marcoux’s finest white wine to date. A blend of 70% Roussanne and 30% Bourboulenc, this 200-case cuvee is sensational. Aged in 100% stainless steel, it is a delicious, full-bodied, powerful white with zesty acidity, abundant notes of orange marmalade, white peaches, quince and rose water as well as terrific elegance, unctuosity, power, purity and length. It should drink well for 3-4 years. RP
