Domaine de Beaurenard 'Le Boisrenard' Chateaneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2023

Domaine de Beaurenard 'Le Boisrenard' Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2023 is a rare, organically and biodynamically farmed white Rhône wine crafted from a field blend of old vines up to 100 years of age across 13 allowed grape varieties, dominated by Roussanne, Clairette, and Grenache Blanc. Fermented and aged in oak foudres and barrels on fine lees, it reveals an alluring bright gold color and a complex nose of ripe white peach, poached pear, acacia honey, candied citrus peel, and toasted brioche, complemented by subtle crushed limestone minerality. On the palate, it is full-bodied, rich, and impeccably structured, offering a lush, silken texture supported by vibrant acidity and a long, saline, aromatic finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with pan-seared sea scallops, butter-poached lobster, roasted halibut, creamy wild mushroom risotto, or aged Comté and goat cheeses.

95 Points - Wine Spectator

Expressive and juicy, with mandarin orange and yellow peach on a nicely ripe and concentrated palate. Slightly waxy in feel, with layers of flavor and savory detail gliding along -- ginger, chamomile, fleur de sel, dried garrigue. A big, rich white, with excellent energy and balance that stretch out endlessly. Offers tons of delicious appeal right now but will go the distance in the cellar. Clairette and Roussanne. Drink now through 2032.
