The nose is rich and offers aromas of citrus fruit, tropical fruit, quince, honey and almonds with a touch of vanilla. The palate is fat, with notes of wood and vanilla. The wine is rich, generous and elegant, with extraordinary length.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tReview:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tEven better, and one of the top 2-3 whites in the vintage, the Grand Veneur 2012 Chateauneuf du Pape La Fontaine Blanc is an off-the-hook effort that gives up mineral-laced notions of citrus, rose petal, white peach and honey to go with a medium to full-bodied, rich, layered and brilliantly focused profile on the palate. It will stand up to any number of high end white burgundies and should not be missed!

The style here, if looked at as a whole, is more traditional than not, with plenty of tank and stainless steel, yet their Chateauneuf du Papes are distinctly modern and spent plenty of time in small barrels. However, they never lose their Southern Rhone typicity, have gorgeous purity and also possess balanced, age-worthy profiles. These are some of the most exciting wines coming out of the region and they should not be missed! Note: the estate bottlings are released under the Domaine Grand Veneur label, and the negociant wines are released under the Alain Jaume et Fils label. The 2012 whites from the Jaume brothers are incredibly strong.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grand Veneur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948779696175,"sku":"F1EE137055ROM","price":61.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/grandveneurfontaine_e10edb4e-bdff-448b-af79-b45d968bc2e0.jpg?v=1771483591","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/grand-veneur-chateauneuf-du-pape-blanc-la-fontaine-2012","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
