The 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is a barrel-fermented and aged blend of 40% Clairette, 40% Roussanne and 20% Grenache Blanc. It's toasty on the nose, despite the oak being previously used, with notes of lime and pear in support. In the mouth, it's medium to full-bodiied and silky but a bit tight, and there's a touch of mocha on the lime-zest-tinged finish. While it may not be the most classical example of white Chateauneuf, it is an excellent wine.
