Score 89/100 · Drink 2006-2009, Robert Parker, Feb 2006

The elegant, crisp, medium-bodied 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape blanc offers hints of rose petals and honeyed citrus. It is best consumed over the next 2-3 years. Readers who run across a bottle of the 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc should not hesitate to snatch it up as it is the finest white Vieux Donjon has yet produced. While remarkably fresh and lively (which goes against some of the misconceptions about this vintage) it is a powerful white with amazing finesse. The estate now utilizes about one-third Roussanne in the blend, which provides plenty of complexity and aromatics. Importer: Alain Junguenet, Wines of France, Mountainside, NJ; tel. (908) 654-6173
