Tasting notes
Senechaux's 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is a blend of 33% Roussanne, 29% Clairette, 28% Grenache Blanc and 10% Bourboulenc, with one-fourth done in used barriques and the rest made and matured in stainless steel. Hints of crushed stone accent tangerine and pear notes, while the medium to full-bodied palate is fresh and vibrant, with more crushed stone and citrus zest on the finish.

The light gold 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc offers up a bright, juicy, medium-bodied style with tart melon and pineapple fruits as well as some spice and honeyed mineral nuances. Nicely balanced and medium-bodied, it puts on weight with time in the glass and is an outstanding white to enjoy over the coming 3-4 years or so. I wouldn't be surprised to see it keep longer. The blend is 33% Roussanne, 29% Clairette, 28% Grenache Blanc, and the balance Bourboulenc, aged in a mix of old barrels and stainless steel.
