The 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc comes from a mix of terroirs and is based on 40% Clairette, 30% Roussanne, 14% Bourboulenc, 10% Grenache Blanc, and splashes of Picardan, Clairette Rose, Grenache Gris, and Picpoul Blanc. It has a beautiful nose of honeyed pears, acacia flowers, mint, and crushed stone. This carries to a pure, medium-bodied white that has a nicely focused, chiseled mouthfeel, remarkable purity and precision, integrated acidity, and a great finish. It's another tremendous white in the vintage that has so much to love.

A blend of 40% Clairette, 30% Roussanne, 14% Bourboulenc, 10% Grenache Blanc, 2% Picardan, 2% Clairette Rose and 1% of each Grenache Gris and Picpoul, the 2023 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc exhales a vibrant, aromatic bouquet of lemon oil, spring flowers, honeysuckle, pear, white peach and spices. Medium to full-bodied, perfectly balanced and fleshy, it's enveloping with bright acids and a long, delicate, mouthwatering finish enhanced by menthol notes. Matured in stainless steel (88%) and new barrels (12%) for seven months, the new oak is barely noticeable. It was derived from vines planted on six plots, all sharing the safres soil type. This is a great effort.

Enticing nose of honeycomb, orange blossoms and apricots. What a beautiful balance of richness and freshness this has. The touch of fine tannins very neatly supports the full-bodied palate. Long, silky and structured finish. A cuvee of 40% old-vine clairette, 30% roussanne, 15% bourboulenc and small amounts of other traditional white grapes. 80% was vinified in stainless steel, with the remainder in a mix of new oak and well-used 400-liter oak barrels. Drink or hold.

The 2023 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc ranks alongside the preceding two vintages, unwinding with fragrant honeysuckle, ripe pear and a nuance of yellow apple. Medium- to full-bodied, round and refreshing, the expressive 2023 closes with a slice of white peach on the uplifting finish. It's approachable right out of the gate.

Expressive notes of apricot and peach are cut with chalky mineral details on a fleshy palate. Lush and delicious, showing impressive fruit purity, with a dollop of salted butter in the backdrop. White flowers and lemony acidity add freshness to the full, warm finish. Clairette, Roussanne, Bourboulenc, Grenache Blanc, Clairette Rose, Picardan, Picpoul and Grenache Gris.
