DOMAINE DE BEAURENARD
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2024
- 93 points -
Based on 30% Clairette, 25% Bourboulenc, 22% Roussanne, 20% Grenache Blanc, and the rest Picardan and Picpoul Blanc, the 2024 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc was vinified and aged six months in 80% in stainless steel and 20% in older barrels. Ripe citrus, quince, and stone fruits intermixed with subtle floral and mineral notes define the aromatics. It's incredibly clean, pure, and focused on the palate, with bright acidity and a brilliant sense of precision that plays in the mid-weight, moderately concentrated style of the vintage. With just under 500 cases produced, this impeccably made white will have 10-15 years of longevity.
