The estate white Chateauneuf du Pape is a gorgeous wine, as Jaume continues to produce one of the top four or five white wines of the appellation almost on a yearly basis. The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape La Fontaine blanc is barrique-aged Roussanne and shows amazing grand cru Burgundian characteristics in its nuttiness, rich honeysuckle nose, with some exotic fruit character, great acidity, length, and richness. It tastes like a marmalade of rose petals, apricot, and lychee in an exotic, rich, classically structured style. This wine should drink well for at least 3-4 years and possibly longer, but it is almost impossible to know since there is so little of this wine available.Readers need to differentiate between the estate wines, which appear under the “Domaine Grand Veneur” name, and the burgeoning number of high quality negociant wines made by this producer, which are bottled under the name “Alain Jaume.” First the estate wines: these two brilliant vintages for Jaume continue an almost unbroken record of highly successful wines that goes back well over a decade (and they are still fairly priced). This is definitely a modernist take on Chateauneuf du Pape, but the wines never lose the soul and typicity of Provence. They are impeccably well-made, pure, and deeply colored.Importer: Kysela Pere et Fils, Winchester, VA; tel. (540) 722-9228
