Back on form, the 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is an impressive effort. A barrel-ferment and aged blend of 40% each Clairette and Roussanne, rounded out by 20% Grenache Blanc, it delivers bright, penetrating aromas of crushed pineapple and key lime. It's full-bodied but zesty, with hints of bitter citrus pith and a long, mouthwatering finish. I'm not sure how it will age, so I'd drink it while young and fresh.
