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.

Perfumed, zesty and focused, with sweet, fleshy melon, white peach, green plum and honeysuckle powered by succulent acidity. Reveals wet flint and chalky, bitter tannins that nicely balance everything out. Roussanne, Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Bourboulenc.
WA The Wine Advocate: 92 Points
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.
