Made in a mix of demi-muids and tank, then matured exclusively in demi-muids, the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc la Crau de Ma Mere is a blend of 40% Grenache Blanc, 30% Clairette, 20% Roussanne and 10% Bourboulenc. Hints of honey and toasted grain join lime zest on the nose, while the medium-bodied palate is silky yet taut and turns crisp on the finish. It's a wine that's skillfully built on the attractive tension between ripeness and freshness.
