Take a touch of humor, add a bit of imagination and ripen a "big" variety of grapes! This wine is a pure expression of SYRAH, fruity aromas of raspberry, blueberry, flowers and herbs. Aromas of mint and violet, along with a spicy note of pepper and licorice.
In short, a beautiful Rhone Syrah. Vinification and aging takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures for the best expression of the purity of the fruit. A sweet aroma of violets and black fruit aromas emerges. The palate is creamy with hints of raspberry and blueberry. The tannins are elegant and silky. It is not an aging wine but you can enjoy it between 1 and 5 years with charcuterie and grilled meats.
"La Fontaine" is a perfect area to produce the wonderful white Chateauneuf du Pape. The plots have a clay/sand and limestone texture and face north. This terroir allows Roussane to mature very well and also retain a wonderful level of freshness. Diverse composition of 100% Roussane. Color yellow-gold. The nose is rich in aromas of citrus fruits, tropical fruits, quince and honey, with a hint of vanilla. On the palate, the same aromas appear together with a fatness that combines exotic fruits and vanilla.
"La Fontaine" is often regarded as one of the best white Chateauneuf du Pape and is by definition an excellent wine for gastronomy. Enjoy between 1 and 8 years with fish dishes in sauce or foie gras, white meat and cheeses.
