Clos Saouma Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc Arioso 2022
Clos Saouma Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc ARIOSO 2022 is one of the RhĂ´ne Valleyâs most distinctive and age-worthy white wines, crafted by Mounir and Rotem Saouma from old-vine Clairette planted in the sandy soils of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Produced in extremely limited quantities, ARIOSO showcases the remarkable potential of Clairette as a standalone variety, highlighting both richness and extraordinary freshness.
The 2022 vintage reveals an intensely aromatic bouquet of white peach, pear, preserved lemon, citrus blossom, acacia honey, fennel, chamomile, and crushed stone. On the palate, it is layered and textural, combining ripe orchard fruit and subtle spice with vibrant acidity and pronounced mineral tension. Extended ĂŠlevage on lees contributes depth and complexity, while preserving precision and energy.
Despite its concentration, ARIOSO remains remarkably elegant and focused, finishing with lingering notes of citrus oil, white flowers, saline minerality, and gentle herbal nuances. Widely regarded as one of the benchmark white wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, it offers exceptional ageing potential and develops remarkable complexity with time in bottle.
