Domaine SAINT SIFFREIN Châteauneuf du Pape White 2023
Original blend of the 6 grape varieties of the Appellation: Grenache, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Roussanne, Piquepoul and Picardan, certified organic.
"It's my little marvel!" according to Cyril the winegrower...
Its freshness and its aromas of flowers and white-fleshed fruits make it a gourmet wine.
Location
The Domaine is situated in the area of the CHATEAUNEUF DU PAPE Appellation.
Terroir
The terroir is clavey-chalky with large rounded sun-warmed stones, which diffuse a gentle, provenditial heat that helps the grapes to mature.
In the vineyard
For 40 years, we cultivate the vineyard with agriculture in an environmental friendly way. The yield is low : 35 hl/ha. The grapes are harvested by hand in the morning at fresh temperature with a selection of the best grapes.
Winemaking
The grapes are directly pressed to extract their juice at low pressure. The juice is then fermented at a controlled temperature to extract the grape aromas.
We do add no sulfites during the vinification.
25% is vinified in barriques of 400 liters.
Ageing
It’s then preserved in fine lees in suspension. Maturing during 5 months.
Malo-lactic fermentation is done (it brings more aromatic expression).
Then it's bottled ate the DOMAINE.

Reviews
CONCOURS DES VINS A ORANGE 2024
"Another impeccably made white in the vintage, the 2023 Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc is juicy and pure, with stone fruits, melon and minty herb notes in its medium-bodied, vibrant, nicely focused profile. It’s perfect for dinking over coming 4-5 years or so." [+]
