with Claude Pouizin running the estate through 1996

My sense is that while this will age effortlessly for decades

comparing it to the 2017 it does not quite have the same tension and mineralité

Blends richness and finesse with a deft hand and finishes incredibly long and precise

The refined and delicious flavors are almost delicate though there is good mid-palate density though once again

Rotem & Mounir Saouma, Chateauneuf Du Pape Magis Blanc Vintage:2016 with Claude Pouizin running theThis wine is a work in progress but everything suggests that it will be a majestic Magis. At this stage it's a kind of engine of blossom, hurling spring fresh fruit tree petals out in every direction. On the palate it's hyper expressive and articulate; blossomy for now, but with plenty of marrow packing its bones, too. Look out for this exceptionally promising wine in a year or two. Barrel sample.
