Clos des Papes Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc 2022

Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2022 is a benchmark Southern Rhône white displaying aromas of white peach, apricot, citrus blossom, honeysuckle, pear, and wet stone. Rich and beautifully textured, it is balanced by vibrant acidity, remarkable minerality, and a long, elegant finish with excellent aging potential.

Food Pairing: Pair with lobster, grilled halibut, scallops, roast chicken, creamy risotto, aged goat cheese, or butter-poached seafood.

96 Points - Wine Spectator

Really gorgeous, in an extroverted style with a lot of range, this white oozes mango, yellow peach and honey-coated apple flavors. A vein of invigorating minerality drives tension, with a quinine bitterness that punctuates the lush profile, while notes of acacia, brioche and sea salt echo on the long finish. Rich and full, with a lot of complexity and definition. Drink now through 2030.
