Grape Variety: 100% Roussanne
Tasting Notes: Yellow-gold colour. The nose is rich in armoas of citrus fruit, tropical fruit, quince and honey with a touch of vanilla.

"La Fontaine" is often considered to be on eof the best Chateauneuf du Pape White and it is by definition a superb gastronomy wine.
Food Pairing: Best with fish dishes in sauce or foie gras, white meat and delicate cheeses.
