2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc

Tasting notes
Golden in colour and glass-coating, this wine offers a nose full of florals, lemon, spice and honey. Still youthful, this has a serious palate, mouthcoating and complex – with a huge amount going on here. The acidity cuts through the lemony, floral and rich palate beautifully, giving the wine lovely. This is a wine with a great future ahead of it, yet is drinking well even now at this baby stage.

The 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc boasts subtle layers of toasted grain and honey over a base of ripe pineapple, nectarine and citrus. A barrel-fermented blend of Clairette and Roussanne, it's medium to full-bodied, plump and generous without being overly rich or unstructured—a nicely balanced yet expansive white that finishes with focus and length.
