2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc
Buying options
Tasting Notes
A beautifully fragrant nose of pear, white flowers, peach skin, apricot and greengage. Subtle toast and salty wild honey, ginger and lemongrass lending fantastic complexity, interest and a spicy, citric edge. The palate is fleshy and full, but never soft, with great tension and structure, freshness and energy. Fantastic!

The 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc boasts a lovely nose of toasted grain and pineapple. The wine is medium to full-bodied, with a rich texture that's channeled into a long, lime-sherbet finish. It's a blend of Roussanne and Clairette that I'd suggest consuming over the next couple of years.
