WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine du Père Caboche Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc is a blend of Clairette, Bourboulenc, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne.
The vines are grown on stony soils in the famous la Crau and les Serres lieux-dits. Grapes are picked and sorted by hand, before being pressed in stainless steel vats for fermentation at low temperatures with aim of retaining varietal expression and purity of fruit. Wines are aged on fine lees (dead yeast) with regular stirring to increase body and textural complexity.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Domaine du Père Caboche Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc has a medium golden color in the glass, with a medium to high viscosity indicative of a wine of considerable weight and density.On the nose, it offers enticing aromas of white flowers, stone fruits, and hints of honey. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with flavors of ripe melon, apricot, and a touch of nuttiness. The wine displays a perfect balance between acidity and creaminess, resulting in a long and satisfying finish.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine du Père Caboche
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
