Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Magis Saouma 300cl 2011

Rotem & Mounir Saouma, owners of the Burgundy micro-négociant Lucien Le Moine, also make exceptional wines form 21 acres of vineyards in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Using old vinification techniques and intervening as minimally as possible, the wines are incredible terroir-driven and complex, yet have all the precision and harmony that you would find in Grand Cru Burgundy. Magis is very much Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc viewed through the lens of Burgundy, with its richness of fruit and fullness of body, but also its stunning aromatics, vibrancy, clarity and finesse. The 2011 is a blend of 75% Grenache Blanc, 10% Clairette, 10% Roussanne and 5% Bourboulenc.
