Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc

France
Rhône
2023

21% Grenache Blanc, 21% Roussanne, 21% Bourbelenc, 21% Clairette and 15% Picpoul. 5% of the Roussanne is fermented in new oak for 6 weeks, then aged in stainless steel. No malolactic. 

It’s uncommon to find Bourboulenc in a CdP Blanc; Alexandre likes it in the blend because it tends to have lower alcohol than the other grapes, and brings acidity and balance to the wine.

"This wine opens with vibrant aromatics of fresh citrus, green pear, quince, and tangerine, beautifully complemented by wild white flowers. On the palate, it offers a gentle yet nuanced experience, with notes of white peach, lemon zest, brioche, almonds, and a hint of sea salt. The texture is refined, supported by a lively acidity that invites immediate enjoyment. Perfectly suited for pairing with fresh salads, it's a wine that shines in the moment."

"Exotic citrus, chamomile, and minty herb notes all shine in the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc, a vibrant, medium-bodied white that has a juicy, lively mouthfeel, a terrific sense of freshness, and outstanding length."
