Raymond Usseglio & Fils Pure Roussanne 2018
Descripción
De Châteauneuf du Pape, la denominación más célebre del sur del valle del Ródano, llega un blanco poco convencional, íntegramente elaborado con uvas de Roussanne. Complejo en nariz y denso en boca, estamos ante un monovarietal, fiel expresión de su terroir de origen, marcado por suelos arenosos, de arcilla y guijarro, y de una cuidada viticultura biodinámica.

Opinión de los críticos
More depth and richness emerge from the 2018 Châteauneuf Du Pape Pure Roussanne, which displays serious amounts of minerality as well as notes of tangerine, peach, spice-box, and brioche. Nicely textured, concentrated, and balanced, it was brought up all in new oak, but you’d never know that by tasting it. The 2018 vintage was difficult for the whites, but this is brilliant. Give it a year and it should age for over a decade.
Usseglio's 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Pure Roussanne is all barrel fermented and aged. Toast and vanilla notes dominate this young wine, so stash it in the cellar for a year or two. There's plenty of underlying pineapple fruit, which just needs some time to uncoil and show itself.
