The top white of the estate, and coming all from Roussanne vinified and aged in barrel, the 2013 Chateauneuf du Pape Barville Roussanne Blanc offers more ripeness and texture than the straight white, with plenty of apple blossom, lemon curd, honeysuckle and salty minerality emerging from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, it has a beautiful mix of richness and freshness, with lively acidity and a clean finish. It should shine on the dinner table and I’d lean toward drinking bottles over the coming 3-4 years.
