WINEMAKER'S NOTE:
The grapes for this wine were hand-selected at every stage to ensure that only the best grapes made it into final product. The wine is aged for up to 6 months on the lees to give it a lovely full body. I think that this wine is incredibly stylish, with an exotic floral bouquet that unleashes an explosion of tropical fruit flavours on the palate.
TASTING NOTES:
Based on equal parts Grenache Blanc, Picpoul Blanc, Bourboulenc, Roussanne, and Clairette from galets roulés, limestone, and brown soils, the 2024 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc offers pure, clean aromatics of white peach and orchard fruits with white flower and mineral nuances. Aged six months primarily in stainless steel with small portions in foudre and barrels, it's medium-bodied, very pure, clean, and balanced, with that classic Rhône white bitter almond nuance on the finish. It will shine on the dinner table over the coming 10-15 years. Drink 2025-2039.

The 2024 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc starts with intense lemon flesh, grapefruit, white flowers and a trace of wet stone. Medium- to full-bodied, crisp and energetic, the 2024 is a lively white Châteauneuf packing excellent vitality and drawing to a close with finesse on the clean finish.
