The 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Clos La Roquete blanc is a blend of 35% Clairette, 30% Grenache Blanc, 20% Roussanne and 10% Bourboulenc, vinified and aged in old wood. It offers abundant aromas of fennel seed, anise, rose petals, pears and honeysuckle. Medium-bodied, crisp and fresh, it can be enjoyed over the next 1-2 years. In the past, La Roquete has had terrible representation, but the proprietors, the Brunier family, recently switched to Kermit Lynch as their importer, so hopefully readers will be able to find this wine in the marketplace. Since the Bruniers took over this estate, quality has soared, evidenced by their extraordinary 2007s.Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchants, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524
