The medium to full-bodied, dry, cleanly made 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc offers attractive creamy pear, buttered grapefruit and tangerine rind-like aromas. Consume it over the next several years. Vincent Durieu, who is now in complete charge at Domaine Durieu, has upgraded the quality of their traditional cuvee of Chateauneuf du Pape, which is a blend of 80% Grenache and the rest Mourvedre, Syrah and Cinsault aged in cement. He has also added a fabulous wine called Lucile Avril, which is 90% Grenache and the rest Mourvedre and Syrah from 40- to 105-year-old vines. A third cuvee, which I find less exciting, is the l’Eperdu, which is 100% Grenache that comes from three separate sites in Chateauneuf du Pape, Cabrieres, Fargueirol and Cansaud. I can muster less enthusiasm for the light ruby-colored 2011 and 2010 l’Eperdu. A Jack Siler Selection, Springfield, VA; tel.
