This large (92 hectares), historic estate produces ample, fleshy white Châteauneufs that provide lots of immediate appeal but also possess the depth to reward patience. The traditional bottling is raised in a combination of stainless steel tanks for Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Bourboulenc, and oak barriques for Roussanne, some of them new. The star white here is the Clos de Beauvenir, which is sourced from a single, walled plot just south of the Chateau that is planted mostly to Roussanne and Clairette, along with bits of Grenache Blanc and Bourboulenc. It is consistently a knockout and is built to age, but be warned, only about 250 cases are made, on average, per vintage.
