Note Wine Spectator : 90/100 A boire jusqu en 2016 selon R. Parker. For someone who came late to Chateauneuf du Pape, Isabel Ferrando’s brilliance is also reflected in what she has accomplished with her white wines. Her basic 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape blanc (85% Clairette and 15% Roussanne) is from the southern sector of the appellation, near the Rhone River, called Les Serres. Aged six months in barrel (one-third new), it does not reveal any hint of oak in its waxy, medium to full-bodied, rich, honeyed style that offers abundant honeysuckle, pear and citrus notes. It is one of the few white Chateauneuf du Papes that should drink well for 3-5 years. Source : R. Parker A modern style, with a good juicy, fairly primal core of red and black cherry compote, laced with sweet spice, anise and cocoa notes. The finish lets toasty spice and anise notes play out.
