We were honored to be featured in Robb Report’s most recent article about the rise in popularity of white wines in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape region.
“Kobrand isn’t the only importer seeing an increase in the category. Alex Milligan, president of David Milligan Selections, with whom we tasted and chatted at Wine Paris, says while historically sales of Châteauneuf-du-Pape blanc were quite low, they have jumped by around 50 percent over the last four years. Milligan explains that although consumers are often intimidated by new categories, there is already a familiarity with the AOC’s red wines, so their curiosity about the white really works in its favour. He imports the wines of Domaine du Vieux Lazaret, which produces 8 to 10 percent of white wine each vintage. Domaine owner Florence Quiot says, “White Châteauneuf-du-Pape is quite unknown, but it’s a wonderful wine to discover.” Her 2023 is in the market now, and she says vintage boasts complexity and balance without sacrificing freshness.”
