Clos Saouma Les Amphoraes âPierredon' Châteauneuf-Du-Pape Blanc 2016
Clos Saouma Les Amphoraes "Pierredon" Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2016 is a rare and highly distinctive white Rhône wine crafted by Mounir Saouma of Lucien Le Moine fame. Sourced from the limestone-rich Pierredon vineyard in BÊdarrides, the wine is fermented and matured in amphorae with minimal intervention, allowing the terroir to express itself with exceptional purity. The wine offers complex aromas of white peach, preserved lemon, citrus blossom, honeysuckle, fennel, crushed stone, and subtle herbal notes. On the palate, it is powerful yet remarkably precise, combining rich texture with vibrant acidity and pronounced mineral tension. Extended lees ageing contributes depth and complexity, while the amphora Êlevage enhances freshness and transparency. The 2016 vintage displays remarkable concentration, saline energy, and a long, chalky finish. Built for long-term cellaring, it has often been compared to great white Burgundy for its depth, structure, and ageing potential.
