An outstanding white, the 2013 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc (30% each of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and Clairette, with 10% Bourboulenc) offers classy apple, melon and citrus blossom in a gorgeously pure, clean and racy feel on the palate. Brought up in 80% stainless steel and 20% in barrel (on lees), it will dish out loads of pleasure over the coming 3-4 years, and evolve for longer as well.
