Clos Saouma Les Amphoraes âPierredon' Châteauneuf-Du-Pape Blanc 2019
Clos Saouma Les Amphoraes "Pierredon" Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2019 is a rare and highly individual white Rhône wine crafted by Mounir and Rotem Saouma. Sourced from the limestone-rich Pierredon vineyard in BÊdarrides, the wine is produced using amphora ageing, a technique designed to express terroir with maximum purity and minimal intervention. The wine is made from Grenache Blanc and Clairette and spends extended time in amphorae, resulting in remarkable texture, freshness, and complexity.
The 2019 vintage displays aromas of preserved lemon, white peach, apricot, citrus blossom, fennel, crushed stone, and subtle honeyed notes. The palate is rich and layered yet remarkably energetic, with saline minerality, vibrant acidity, and a long chalky finish. Amphora maturation contributes a distinctive textural depth while preserving freshness and precision. With its combination of concentration, mineral tension, and ageing potential, Pierredon is often compared to great white Burgundy while retaining the unmistakable character of white Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
