The white wine Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC Vieilles Vignes, vintage 2017 from the winery Maison Tardieu-Laurent has been rated in 2019 by Ulrich Sautter with 94 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Garnacha Blanca, Roussanne, Clairette Blanc, Bourboulenc from the region Côtes du Rhône in France.
Very closed on the nose at first with light aromas of freshly cut hedges, lemongrass and liquorice. With time in the glass, however, it heads in a spicy direction, showing cinnamon and Assam pepper. On the palate it is weighty, immediately lively and expressive. There's a light wood-influence, a firm acid backbone, a direct juiciness, good density and an immensely tight youthfulness.
