Tasting notes
Based on 51% Roussanne, 26% Grenache Blanc, 14% Clairette, and 9% Bourboulenc from the la Crau, la Nerthe, and la Rigole lieux-dits, the 2024 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc was aged six months in a mix of demi-muids, barrels, and stainless steel. Medium gold-hued, it offers fabulous purity in its ripe peach, orange blossom, minty herb, and subtle mineral-laced aromatics. It's medium-bodied, with a beautifully textured mouthfeel that has nicely integrated acidity, a balanced, layered profile, and outstanding length. This is well worth a case purchase and will keep for 15-20 years in cold cellars. Drink 2025-2045.

The 2024 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc from Château La Nerthe is a lovely effort, opening with aromas of white fruits, spices and flowers. Medium- to full-bodied, sappy and seamless, it offers an elegantly juicy core of fruit that carries into a delicate, gently oaked finish. Vinified and matured for six months in a combination of large barrels, 20% new oak and used barrels, it is composed of 51% Roussanne, 26% Grenache Blanc, 14% Clairette and 9% Bourboulenc.
The 2024 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc opens with fresh grapefruit and lemon flesh, linden blossom and green apple aromas. White flowers add more complexity. Medium- to full-bodied, crisp and refreshing, the 2024 is neatly balanced by bright acidity that carries all the way through to the long, complex finish.
