Wine Critic Reviews
The 2019 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc is a medium straw-colored wine, crafted with immaculate precision. An alluring perfume of dried lemon peel, lime zest, dried ginger, honey and beeswax paired with a flinty twist usher in this compelling 2019 Blanc. Coming in at 14% alcohol, it carries a medium to full-body, exhibits wonderful freshness and ends with a sapid finish.

The 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is 80% Roussanne, 15% Grenache Blanc and 5% other mixed varieties (Bourboulenc, Clairette, Picardan). Fermented and aged in a mix of barrels (30%) and tanks (70%), it offers up appealing flinty notes on the nose, accompanied by ripe pineapple and pear scents. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate, round, ripe and generous, with an expansive feel in the mouth and hints of warmth, honey and spice on the long finish. Lush and luxurious, it's drinkable young, but has a track record of aging well for as long as a decade depending on your preferences.
