Pale yellow with hints of green. Intense nose with white flowers, especially acacia. Aromas of peach and pear with exotic fruit notes. Soft oakiness with light spiced notes and hints of vanilla. Finish is full, with a lovely mineral quality.
Robert Parker 91 Points "A blend of 35% Roussanne, 30% Clairette, 27% Grenache Blanc and 8% Bourboulenc, the 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is made in a mix of older barrels and stainless steel. Hints of tangerine, peach and pineapple mark the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is silky in texture, with a slightly chalky note on the finish. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes."

Fresh and floral on the nose and on the palate. This is a lively, drinkable and contemporary style - not trying too hard, not over-oaked, over-alcoholic or overly full-bodied. It’s also a refreshing style but not without typicité or seriousness. A good value option in 2018. Vinified in old barriques and stainless steel.
