Rocking stuff, the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc boasts a vivid gold hue to go with a killer nose of honeyed stone fruits, toasted almonds, flower oil, and caramelized orange. It's medium to full-bodied, concentrated, has a supple, seamless mouthfeel, and the fresh, elegant style of the vintage.

A textured, dense, silky and harmonious white blend of roussanne, grenache blanc, picardan, bourboulenc and clairette. The nose exhibits aromas of baked lemons, verbena, beeswax, wild herbs and some dried spices. Medium-bodied with moderate acidity. The cooked lemons and herbs bring a lively, energetic mid-palate. It’s oily and highly textural. Vibrant and long. Drink or hold.

A rich and ripe vintage, with a touch of honeyed nuttiness from the oak. It’s a generous style, rounded and very deep in fruit. The alcohol feels a little more elevated than a typical vintage (even though it's only 14%), but it has concentration and depth. Slight grapefruit bitters on the finish. Harvested quite early this year. Roussanne all in barriques; new and one-year-old.

The 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc delivers a classic nose of honeysuckle, cedar, lemon flesh, herbal tea and a touch of jasmine. Full-bodied, round and elegant, the 2023 shakes off the warm growing season and packs plentiful freshness. A long, elegant close confirms a white Châteauneuf-du-Pape of outstanding quality.
