CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Jeb Dunnuck - "The light colored 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc is a blend of 30% Clairette, 25% Bourboulenc, 22% Roussanne, 20% Grenache Blanc, and the rest a mix of varieties. It offers a more crisp, pure style as well as notes of apple blossom, white flowers, crushed citrus, and subtle brioche. It gains depth and richness with time in the glass and has a distinct sense of minerality, medium body, and a clean, crisp finish. Drink it any time over the coming two decades or more."


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "A blend of 30% Clairette, 25% Bourboulenc, 22% Roussanne, 20% Grenache Blanc, 2% Picpoul Blanc and 1% Picardan, the 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is a medium to full-bodied wine with plenty of floral notes up front, pear and melon on the mid-palate and lime and anise on the finish. It's a solid offering that won't disappoint, provided you drink it in its first few years."
