Bright citrus, lemon zest, and minty notes all emerge from the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc, a pure, elegant, medium-bodied white based on 40% Clairette, 30% Roussanne, 14% Bourboulenc, 10% Grenache Blanc, and the rest tiny amounts of Picpoul, Clairette Rose, Picardan, Grenache Gris, and Picpoul Blanc. It shows the more mid-weight, elegant style of the vintage yet is beautifully balanced, vibrant, and fresh, with good mid-palate depth as well as length on the finish.

Intense minerality pervades this juicy wine, running through delicate white nectarine, honeydew and creamed apple. Offers a salted butter note that adds lushness, while white pepper, tea and wet flint accent the fresh finish. Clairette, Roussanne, Bourboulenc, Grenache Blanc, Clairette Rose and Picardan.
