Bright citrus, lemon zest, and minty notes all emerge from the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc, a pure, elegant, medium-bodied white based on 40% Clairette, 30% Roussanne, 14% Bourboulenc, 10% Grenache Blanc, and the rest tiny amounts of Picpoul, Clairette Rose, Picardan, Grenache Gris, and Picpoul Blanc. It shows the more mid-weight, elegant style of the vintage yet is beautifully balanced, vibrant, and fresh, with good mid-palate depth as well as length on the finish.
