Chateauneuf-du-Pape White "The Miocene" 2022 - Alain Jaume 75cl

The 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape white "Le Miocène" is distinguished by its exceptional terroir located in the "La Fontaine" area. This north-facing plot on clay-limestone hillsides benefits from optimal ventilation thanks to the mistral wind, promoting a slow and balanced maturation of the grape varieties, while preserving a beautiful freshness.

The grapes are harvested manually, followed by direct pressing after destemming. Vinification takes place in stainless steel vats at low temperatures, with 6 months of aging in vats before bottling.

Upon tasting, "Le Miocène" displays a pale yellow color with hints of green. Its nose expresses delicate aromas of white flowers, such as hawthorn and honeysuckle, enhanced by fine spices. On the palate, it offers a seductive balance between liveliness and roundness, revealing notes of dried apricot, honey, and elderberry. This white Châteauneuf-du-Pape embodies great finesse.

To appreciate all its qualities, it is recommended to taste it between 1 and 4 years after bottling, at a serving temperature of 10°C.
