This opulent, modern version offers good freshness. Oak polish overlays mirabelle plum and spiced apple notes, showing concentration and power on the rich palate, with a beam of saline that charges through. Details of shortbread and warm spices spill out across the long finish.
Leading off the two whites, the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc is a mix of mostly Grenache Blanc, with some Roussanne, Clairette, and a little Bourboulenc that was brought up in a mix of demi-muid, new and old barrels, and stainless steel. It has a rocking bouquet of white peach, honeyed white flowers, brioche, and subtle spice to go with a medium-bodied, supple, layered style on the palate. It brings plenty of richness, has a great sense of freshness, and will shine on the dinner table.
