Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Always one of the top white wines of the appellation, the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes de Clairette Blanc sets hints of toast against deep white peach flavors. Medium to full-bodied and gloriously silky in texture, it wonderfully balances the richness of the vintage with vibrant, lime-zest flavors to finish long, briny and satisfying.

• James Suckling: Jaw dropper from the start, with pink grapefruit, rose water, Cavaillon melon, lemon curd and macadamia nut notes all wrapped with a creamed yellow plum hint, before ending with a flurry of chamomile, acacia and warm brioche flavors on the finish. This really has a lot coming down the cat walk at once.

Producer Information

Isabel Ferrando bought the Domaine Saint Prefert and vinified for the first time in 2003. The estate is situated on the south side of the village of Chateauneuf-du-Pape atop gravel and pebble soils. Domaine Saint Prefert produces wines epitomizing the Provencal region. Herbs such as garrigue, thyme and rosemary abound. Grenache is expressed in notes of candied fruit, chocolate and roasted coffee. Isabel Ferrando farms organically. She expanded her holdings and built a new state-of-the-art winery in 2009. Isabel’s mentality is to never stop improving: “The substantial work done in the vineyards over the past eight years brings us ever closer to the level of quality that I seek. Progress is ahead of us.”
