Description
94 points Wine Spectator
"Big in stature and scale, with creamy pear and pureed melon backed by stylish oak, flinty minerality and a saline beam of acidity. Decadent and rich, with the energy to keep perfect pace. Reveals dried thyme and heather details on the long finish. Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and Clairette. Drink now through 2028. 332 cases made, 180 cases imported."

"Beautiful stone fruits, tart pineapple, and subtle spicy, brioche nuances, as well hints of honeysuckle, all define the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc, a pure, vibrant, medium-bodied white from this family that does everything right. Based on 40% each of Grenache Blanc and Roussanne, with the balance Clairette, enjoy bottles over the coming 4-5 years."
Vinous Reverie Notes
Blend: 40% Grenache Blanc, 40% Roussane, 20% Clairette. A decadent and opulent wine that is sadly often overlooked by its red counterpart, this white Chateauneuf has a fresh, tangy style with lots of lime. Age-worthy, this comes from two old vine sites. Tasting Notes: Sumptuous bouquet of white flowers, citruses, lavender, and honey, as well as, flint stone. The mouth is round and creamy yet with a nice tension and a long finish.
