The 2014 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is an interesting blend of 40% Clairette, 40% Bourboulenc and the balance Grenache Blanc and Roussanne, which was raised all in stainless steel. It offers plenty of tropical notes, orange marmalade and mint in its medium-bodied, nicely textured, balanced personality. Possessing both freshness and texture (which isn’t always a given), enjoy this classically styled Southern Rh?ne over the coming couple of years.
