2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc “La Crau”

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe
Discount Eligible $87.00
SOLD OUT

There is not much blanc from the famed La Crau vineyard to go around, in France or in the United States, making it one of those rarities sure to leave its mark on any special occasion. That’s not to mention, of course, the fresh fennel aromatics followed by a juicy and creamy core of fruit and salt. Clairette, an unsung hero of the south, is the main grape here, undoubtedly one of many key elements to this singular wine.
