Generous yet fresh, with a lovely mix of chamomile, green plum and zesty lime peel on a creamy, ripe palate. An herbal thread weaves through, with salty mineral notes lining the fleshy finish, marked by sweet and savory spices. Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne and Bourboulenc. Drink now through 2028. 1,667 cases made, 333 cases imported.

Exotic tropical fruit, toasted bread, honeysuckle, and some salty, cured meat-like nuances all emerge from the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc, a medium-bodied, balanced, nicely textured white that has lots to love. It's going to shine on the dinner table and should have at least 3-5 years of longevity. This cuvée comes all from limestone soils and is equal parts Clairette Rose, Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc, and Roussanne brought up in 20% new barrels, with the balance in concrete tanks.

The 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes Blanc delivers clear, pristine notes of tangerine and lime on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, it's round and silky in texture, with a vibrant, refreshing finish. Drink it on the young side.

The 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc is a medium-bodied, refreshing white with moderate substance and overall intensity. It unfolds in the glass with shy notes of yellow apple and pear. A clean and elegant yet fairly clipped finish wraps it up.
