Pierre Troupel – White

Terroir:
The Domaine Clef de St Thomas, 11 hectares, is made up of different plots planted towards Courthézon and also north of the village of Châteauneuf du Pape. To the south, the old Grenache wines express themselves on the rolled pebbles of the Serres. To the north, the Charbonnières on clayey sands.
The white grape varieties affirm their fruitiness in the west on sandstone terroirs for a very Châteauneuf typicality!
Here we are on a sandy-limestone soil.
