Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC Blanc Caparaçon 2021 Ravoire

The French white wine Caparaçon is a Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Maison Ravoire, which for generations has been producing wines both in the Rhône Valley and in Provence, with 2 locations, one in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and one in Salon-de-Provence . With the Olivier Ravoire line, dedicated to Captain Ravoire who lived in the 16th century, the winery wanted to underline the ancient history of the family, while the name Caparaçon refers to an ornamental armor used in the Middle Ages.

After the manual harvesting of the Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Clairette and Bourboulenc grapes, they undergo a short maceration, followed by pressing. The alcoholic fermentation takes place directly in barrique, while the cuvée always ages in barrique on the fine lees for 10 months.

Intense straw yellow in colour, the nose has floral aromas of honeysuckle and smoky notes. The sip is fresh and ample, with a long mineral finish.

Ideal in combination with fish and shellfish dishes.
