Cuvée du Vatican Blanc 2006

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc, whilst much rarer, can be just as intense, complex and compelling as this famous village's reds. We've been tracking the successes of Jean-Marc Diffonty for over a decade now and his '06 is up there with the finest. American critic Robert Parker has also been a fan of this premium family estate for many years.

Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Clairette and Bourboulenc are gently barrel-aged and expertly combined into an exotic and harmonious mouthful of honeysuckle, lavender, lychees and lemon.
