- All grapes are hand-picked as per the appellation's rules, and this takes place quite early in the season to ensure maximum freshness is retained.
- This is drinking superbly right now, but some time in the cellar will do it no harm and with that it will develop more nutty and honeyed notes.

The Wine The Wine
France
Region:Rhône - Châteauneuf-du-Pape
You'd be forgiven for thinking that Châteauneuf only produced red wines, seeing as they take up most of the spotlight. However, it is a region that also produces whites that can be truly captivating in character and wonderfully complex. Not all producers have enough white vines to make a white cuvée. Thankfully, the Gonnet estate has, and this is a lively, equally split blend of Clairette and Roussanne. A wine with great fruit concentration and a welcome, if slightly surprising, freshness. There's a little spice and richer honey notes on palate and the finish is long, balanced and persistent.

"Making our white wine is one of the highlights of every vintage and I love the balance between richer peach fruit and the fresher citrus hints. The mouth is fresh and crispy, and a slight saltiness lingers on the palate. It is this touch of salinity that keeps me going back to the glass for another sip!" - Guillaume Gonnet, Winemaker.
