Domaine Duclaux Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2022 white

The Domaine Duclaux, as a historic domaine of the appellation, produces wines in the tradition of traditional Châteauneuf-du-Pape : powerful, elegant and structured.
In order to maximize the potential of our terroirs for our white cuvée, we choose to proceed with winemaking in wood. This method, relatively atypical in our region, makes our Duclaux White a wine quite different from its counterparts.

Total pressing of the harvest, static settling at 12°C, vinification on fine lees in Burgundy barrels with stirring for 8 to 10 months.
Fermentation and aging are in barrels. The juice therefore spends its entire life in wood, from the end of pressing (the day of harvest) until the moment of final assembly and bottling.

On the palate this wine expresses notes of quince, crushed pears and small notes of brugnon, quenette associated with touches of flowers / grove, physalis, racy minerality as well as discreet hints of citrus and a very discreet hint of beeswax.
