Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2022

- 92 points -

Looking first at the classic 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc, it has a medium gold hue as well as terrific orange blossom, stone fruit, and honeyed flower-like aromas and flavors. It's medium-bodied, has a layered, textured mouthfeel, nicely integrated acidity, and a crisp, mineral-laced style on the finish. It's a terrific white for enjoying over the coming 3-5 years or so. As normal, this Cuvée is mostly Roussanne, Clairette, and Grenache Blanc, but includes plenty of other varieties, aged mostly in stainless steel, with a tiny 3% in new barrels.
