2021 Rotem & Mounir Chateuneuf du Pape Arioso Blanc
We are pleased to present the 2021 Rotem & Mounir Saouma Châteauneuf-du-Pape Arioso Blanc, a distinguished white wine from one of the Rhône Valley's most innovative producers. Mounir Saouma, renowned for his work with Lucien Le Moine in Burgundy, ventured into Châteauneuf-du-Pape in 2006, acquiring a small, neglected plot in Pignan. This acquisition marked the beginning of a meticulous journey focused on low-yield, organic viticulture and minimal intervention winemaking. Today, Saouma oversees 21 acres across eight vineyards in all five villages of the appellation, producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of each site. The 2021 Arioso Blanc is crafted exclusively from Grenache Blanc, sourced from the sandy soils of the Pignan lieu-dit. The wine undergoes a gentle pressing with small, traditional presses, followed by an extended maceration period and aging in a combination of barrels, foudres, and cement vessels. This method preserves the wine's purity and expression, resulting in a complex and age-worthy white wine.

2022 Rotem & Mounir Saouma Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc "Magis"
'Magis' is a wine which transcends traditional, critic-led point-scores and wordy reviews. It's one of those wines you just don't get until you try it....then the light bulb comes on. Graileys' members have tried it, get it and love it. Mounir Saouma, the extraordinary genius behind the acclaimed Lucien Le Moine Burgundy label, has managed to conjure up another remarkable vintage of his game-changing CDP Blanc. He has found a way of raising the already stratospherically high bar he has set for himself with the exquisite 2021. Its consistent adherence to excellence has prompted us to vote Magis 'Graileys White Wine of the Year' for the last four years running, and in our opinion, this latest rendition is easily his best yet. This wine is so completely unique it will permanently alter the way you think about CDP Blanc and its varietals. Almost inconceivably, 'Magis' mirrors a high-end Meursault or a young Montrachet, rather than a traditional white Rhone. Jeb Dunnuck agrees, commenting - "It will give a Grand Cru Burgundy a run for its money." Only a miniscule amount imported into the US.

2021 Rotem & Mounir Saouma "Inopia" Blanc
Rotem & Mounir’s wines are breathtaking. This spectacular white is more reminiscent of a quality Meursault than a Rhone. The Inopia will undoubtedly change your perception of the traditional wines of the region. The kaleidoscope of the terroirs he works with are reflected in his cellar, like a mad scientist`s lab, there is a combination of barrels, foudres, cement and concrete eggs, all used to tease out the unique characteristics of his top quality fruit in a brighter, more modern version of the classic Rhone varietals. The Inopia Blanc shakes up the old, flabby, more viscous white Rhones, and opens your eyes to a lighter, more complex, Burgundian style white. The 2021 Inopia Blanc is a forward-thinking, groundbreaking wine at a shockingly modest price point. Trust us.
