"The 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc comes from a mix of terroirs and is based on 40% Clairette, 30% Roussanne, 14% Bourboulenc, 10% Grenache Blanc, and splashes of Picardan, Clairette Rose, Grenache Gris, and Picpoul Blanc. It has a beautiful nose of honeyed pears, acacia flowers, mint, and crushed stone. This carries to a pure, medium-bodied white that has a nicely focused, chiseled mouthfeel, remarkable purity and precision, integrated acidity, and a great finish. It's another tremendous white in the vintage that has so much to love."

"The 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc ranks alongside the preceding two vintages, unwinding with fragrant honeysuckle, ripe pear and a nuance of yellow apple. Medium- to full-bodied, round and refreshing, the expressive 2023 closes with a slice of white peach on the uplifting finish. It's approachable right out of the gate."

"A blend of 40% Clairette, 30% Roussanne, 14% Bourboulenc, 10% Grenache Blanc, 2% Picardan, 2% Clairette Rose and 1% of each Grenache Gris and Picpoul, the 2023 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc exhales a vibrant, aromatic bouquet of lemon oil, spring flowers, honeysuckle, pear, white peach and spices. Medium to full-bodied, perfectly balanced and fleshy, it's enveloping with bright acids and a long, delicate, mouthwatering finish enhanced by menthol notes. Matured in stainless steel (88%) and new barrels (12%) for seven months, the new oak is barely noticeable. It was derived from vines planted on six plots, all sharing the safres soil type. This is a great effort."
