Rich in feel, but bright and pure as star fruit, white peach and honeysuckle notes are seamlessly entwined, ending with a creamy texture and lingering acacia hint. Very stylish. Roussanne, Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Bourboulenc. Drink now through 2023.

The medium gold-colored 2018 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc is based largely on one-third each of Clairette, Roussanne, and Grenache Blanc, with a splash of Bourboulenc. It has terrific depth and richness in its pineapple, brioche, honeysuckle, and salty mineral-like aromas and flavors. These carry to a medium-bodied white that has beautiful depth of fruit balanced by terrific acidity and tension. It's a beautiful white from this team.

Fresh apricot and quince flavors are edged sweetly by marzipan and pastry. Vinified primarily in stainless steel and with no new oak, it's a plump, juicy blend of Roussanne, Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Bourboulenc. The finish lingers on a pleasant murmur of tea tannins. At peak now-2025 but should hold longer.
