The 2013 Chateauneuf du Pape La Crau de ma Mere Blanc is a beautiful, crisp and lively white that has the classic freshness and purity of the vintage. A blend of 40% Grenache Blanc and 20% each of Clairette, Roussanne and Bourboulenc, aged in equal parts stainless steel and smaller barrels, it offers plenty of citrus, white flower and clean minerality in its balanced profile. It’s an outstanding white that should drink nicely over the coming 3-4 years, and evolve for longer as well.
