Domaine Saint Prefert, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Cuvee Speciale Vieilles Clairettes 2015

A wine I suspect will be the white wine of the vintage, the 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Spéciale Vieilles Clairettes Blanc is a tiny production cuvée there's only 800 magnums made) that comes from a single parcel of very old Clairette, and spends two years in new demi-muids. A rich, unctuous, incredibly textured white that's overflowing with notions of orange marmalade, pineapple, buttered citrus and toasted bread, it has full-bodied richness, a thick, layered texture and a great finish. Don't miss it!
