The barrel-fermented 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc saw 30% new oak, giving its orange-scented aromas an attractive scorched note. This full-bodied blend of 50% Roussanne, 30% Clairette and 20% Grenache Blanc features a silky texture and a long, layered, Creamsicle-like finish. I wouldn't bet on it aging well, but for drinking now it's hugely seductive.
