Daument has added a white Vin de Table made from Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc, and Clairette. It is put through 100% malolactic and the wine is tasty and better than many of the white Chateauneuf du Papes that are more expensive. All from 2005 and nicely textured with plenty of honeysuckle and floral notes, it should drink well for another year or so. They also do some impressive inexpensive red wines. This estate in the very northern sector of Chateauneuf du Pape celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2005, but the extraordinary wines have only really come with the emergence of Jean-Paul Daumen as a seasoned and competent producer, over the last seven to eight years. He is now one of the truly stunning producers in all of France and, somewhat unusual for Chateauneuf du Pape, he doesn’t make any white Chateauneuf du Pape.Importer: A Christopher Cannan Selection, various American importers including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel.
