Note di degustazione
Marked by higher acidity and less flesh than the 2022, the 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is dominated by notes of white peach and lime zest. A blend of 40% each Grenache Blanc and Roussanne, plus 20% Clairette, about 30% saw new French oak, while the rest was matured in stainless steel.

The medium lemon-colored 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc states 13.5% alcohol on the label. It has briefly aged in a combination of new oak barriques and stainless steel tanks, displaying fragrant aromatics of honeysuckle, yellow apple, pear, white peach, cedar and a pinch of vanilla. Medium-bodied and well-balanced by round acidity, the finish is bright.
Crushed citrus, lime, mint, and some chalky minerality all emerge from the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc, a vibrant, medium-bodied, fresher-styled white from Châteauneuf du Pape that shines for its purity, freshness, and focus. It's going to put on weight with a year in bottle and drink brilliantly for at least 3-4 years, and I suspect it will have an interesting evolution beyond that as well.
