Description

Chateau Simone Palette Blanc 2023The white from Simone is a truly unique creation based primarily on Clairette that is supplemented with Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc, Ugni Blanc and a touch of Muscat Blanc. The white, brisk in its youth, animated by a bouquet of pine resin, evolves slowly into a sensual masterpiece with its lingering finish built on a mass of minerality. This is a remarkably age worthy wine with the potential to give ever more pleasure over a span two decades or more.

the tannins here are astonishingly precise—pointillistic in feel rather than monolithic—and integrated beautifully into the wine’s mouth-filling

The formidable “cru” of Garblet Sué (also referred to as “Fiasco”) is in Castiglione Falletto on south/southeast slopes at 250 meters with limestone soils

While perhaps less honeyed and floral than the Clos des Oratoriens bottling in some vintages

with a harmony of elements that suggests great cellaring potential
