The 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Cuvee Barberini ups the Roussanne and barrique proportions to 80%, with the balance a blend of Clairette and Grenache Blanc. It's honeyed and rich on the nose, with scents of roasted nuts joined by grilled pears. Medium to full-bodied, it's round and generous on the palate, with a silky feel and a lingering finish that's surprisingly bright and citrusy, providing a lovely sense of balance.
