A gorgeous white that excels on all accounts, the 2013 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc has rocking minerality, flint and crushed rock in its peach and white-flowers core. Checking in as a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Clairette, Roussanne and Bourboulenc, it’s a medium-bodied, focused and elegant white that’s perfectly balanced, has building richness and a terrific finish. Count me a fan. It should impress for a number of years (although I haven’t tasted any aged example of this particular cuvée).
