Tasting notes
A blend of 34% Roussanne, 30% Clairette, 28% Grenache Blanc and 8% Bourboulenc and about one-fourth barrel-fermented and matured, the 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is a beauty, with bold aromas of pineapple and pear and hints of honey and lime. It's medium to full-bodied, plump yet balanced, fleshy and appealing. It's the kind of white from the region I want to drink, with just enough acid and chalkiness on the finish to keep it lively and refreshing.

This estate always makes a terrific white, and their 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc is no exception. Bright melon, honeyed citrus, and floral notes all define the nose, and it hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, a fresh yet textured mouthfeel, and a clean, dry finish that will shine on the dinner table. It's well worth seeking out.
