A tank-fermented and -aged blend of 70% Grenache Blanc and 15% each Bourboulenc and Clairette, Maucoil's 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc offers up attractive notes of white peaches, Bosc pears, ripe melon and tangerine. It's full-bodied and generous on the mid-palate, but with a crisp, refreshing edge to the finish.

The 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc features scents of beeswax, tangerine and pineapple. Straightforward and citrusy, it's medium to full-bodied and round in the mouth, but the lively, engaging flavors fade a bit quickly on the finish.

I preferred the unoaked 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc to the Trésor des Papes for its greater freshness and vitality. The blend of 70% Grenache Blanc and 15% each Bourboulenc and Clairette offers an array of citrusy aromas and flavors, from lime and orange to pineapple, finishing clean and zesty.

A borderline outstanding effort, the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc checks in as 70% Grenache Blanc and 15% Clairette and Bourboulenc, all of which was aged in stainless steel. It has clean, classic notes of ripe peach, citrus and a hint of apple to go with a medium-bodied, balanced, lengthy style on the palate.

Located mostly in the northern part of the appellation, Chateau Maucoil produced solid wines in 2013. The 2014 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc offers pretty notes of white grapefruit, orange blossom, white flowers and subtle honeysuckle to go with a medium-bodied, supple, fruity forward style the palate. Already evolved and with low acidity, it will need drinking over the coming year or two.
