The gorgeous 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc (a 1,000-case blend of 40% Roussanne and the rest Clairette and Grenache Blanc) exhibits lovely honeysuckle-like fruit and floral notes, full-bodied freshness, good acidity, and a creamy, vibrant texture as well as length. It should drink nicely for several years. Formerly Domaine La Roquete (and mis-spelled last year as Roquette), the Brunier family has changed the name to Clos La Roquete as they recognize this is a true “clos” (a totally walled vineyard). As I have indicated in several recent Chateauneuf du Pape reports, this is one of the estates for which the Bruniers have pushed the envelope of quality higher and higher in each new vintage. This is the finest group of wines they have yet produced, and readers should take serious note.Importer: Diageo Chateau & Estate Wines, New York, NY; tel. (646) 223-2200
