Score 90/100 · Drink 2017-2021, Josh Raynolds, Feb 2016

Light, bright yellow. Ripe nectarine and melon aromas are complemented by suggestions of chalky minerals, vanilla and honey. Fleshy pear nectar and peach liqueur flavors show very good clarity and thrust and convey a bracing citrus zest quality. Tightens up on the clinging finish, which repeats the lemon and mineral notes.

Score 90/100 · Drink 2014-2017, Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, Oct 2014

Starting with the 2013s, the 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape Renaissance Blanc (30% each of Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Roussanne, with 10% Bourboulenc) is a steely, mineral-driven effort that has plenty of citrus, pepper and crushed rock in its medium-bodied, juicy profile. Drink it over the coming 2-3 years.
