Hints of white peach, pineapple, melon and lime appear on the nose of the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc, a tank-aged blend of Clairette and Roussanne. It's medium to full-bodied, showing some warmer, riper notes of peach on the mid-palate, then balancing those with hints of white pepper and citrus on the long, mouthwatering finish
This captures a lot of fruit, from melon and yellow apple to white peach and star fruit and keep it bright and well-defined, while allied to a fresh, porcelainlike texture throughout.
Glorious nose of spiced pear, fennel and anise. Ripe palate that shows excellent freshness and layered green fruit with a mineral twang. Wonderful mouthfeel, and effortlessly pure and rich at the same time. (AC)
