Ripe, rich and a bit soft in feel, the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is roughly equal parts Bourboulenc, Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne. Pear, pineapple and melon notes all make themselves known on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is round and generous, finishing with notes of ripe citrus (tangerine). I've given it a relatively short drinking window so you can enjoy it while young and fresh, but if you like broad, truffle-y whites, you might want to hold it a few years longer.

An equal-parts blend of Bourboulenc, Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne, the 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc was bottled only ten days prior to my visit. Boasting searingly bright notes of passion fruit and citrus, it's medium-bodied, plump and zesty, with a linear mouthfeel and a tight, crisp finish. Drink it on the young side.

The 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is a bit less weighty and rich than the 2016 but equally attractive. Tangerine, orange and lime notes define this medium to full-bodied blend of Bourboulenc, Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne, which finishes fresh, clean and zesty. Drink it over the next few years.

The appealing 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is equal parts Bourboulenc, Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne, made half in stainless steel and half in wood, with no malolactic fermentation. It's full-bodied but fresh, with pineapple and tangerine flavors along with a creamy, plush mouthfeel and lime and spice on the finish for balance.

The 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is a step up over the 2014 and offers terrific notes of stone fruits, pears and apple blossom in a medium to full-bodied, fresh, lengthy and elegant style.
