A blend of 45% Clairette, 35% Grenache Blanc and 20% Bourboulenc, the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc was made mostly in stainless steel, with 20% fermented and matured in demi-muids, one-third of which were new. It's ripe and nicely rounded, with notes of white peach, pear and a hint of pineapple on the nose. In the mouth, it's medium to full-bodied, clean and refreshing, with a long, silky-textured finish and mouthwatering citrus.

The 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is as good a white as I can recall from this estate, currently run by fifth-generation vigneron Nicolas Boiron.

Hints of honey and tangerine flavors are ripe and offer ample weight, but they're balanced by fresh, vibrant notes of lime, finishing zesty and long. It should drink well for at least a few years.
