Our white Châteauneuf du Pape should be enjoyed young for its aromatic freshness with floral and citrus notes. The mouth is very pure and expresses all of the terroir’s minerality. After a few years of aging, acacia notes appear, even oily character as well as a very smooth texture. Cellaring potential: 15 years or more.
Bright apple, citrus, and minty herb notes all emerge from the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc, a rocking little white that has medium-bodied richness, a juicy, lively mouthfeel, and an undeniable sense of salty minerality on the finish. Based on 55% Grenache Blanc, 20% Clairette, 15% Roussanne, and 10% Picpoul Blanc, it's going to benefit from 6-12 months of bottle age and mostly like evolve for well over a decade, although I'd drink bottles through 2027.
The 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc initiates with fragrant honeysuckle, ripe pear, lemon flesh and yellow apple. Vinified in stainless steel tanks, this medium-bodied, round, refreshing and energetic 2023 ends with an uplifting finish.
Here's What We Thought:
Bright and juicy, this white Rhône feels both fresh and a little fancy with ripe pear, honeyed apple, and a hint of spring blossoms. It’s perfect on its own, but even better with oysters, creamy risotto, or lemon‑garlic roasted veggies. Crisp, flavorful, and just the right touch of elegance in a glass.
