This white Châteauneuf-du-Pape Le Traversier 2024 from Château Simian is mainly made from Grenache Blanc at 50%, complemented by Roussanne for 35% and Bourboulenc for 15%. It is produced organically and biodynamically.

It offers a delicate straw colour, with a nose of great elegance on floral aromas and aromas of white and yellow fruits, lime zest, fennel, underlined by a subtle minerality and a note of white pepper. The attack on the palate is round, fleshy, followed by a pleasant freshness for a full-bodied, warm and long finish. It will be the perfect accompaniment to scallops with saffron, Bresse poultry with morels, lentil soup with celery and lemon or cheeses such as a creamy or dry goat's cheese Pélardon.

This cuvée whose name, "Le Traversier", is that of the old road that connects the three plots of 6 hectares in total from which it comes:
- the first, to the north of Les Cabrières, on the slopes under the highest terrace, where Grenache Noir is planted on clay-limestone soils with rounded pebbles.
- the second in the extreme north of the appellation, in the place called "La Bertaude" where Syrah, Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc and Roussanne are planted.
- the last one to the north, on the climb that leads to Châteauneuf du Pape, on the place called "le Caladas", with clay-limestone soils with rounded pebbles where the oldest Grenache vines are planted, some since 1880, as well as the Clairette.
