The 2023 Chateauneuf Du Pape Blanc is terrific, with a fresh, lively style that gains richness with time in the glass. Pear, stone fruits, and orange blossom notes all define the aromatics and it's medium-bodied, nicely balanced, has a good sense of freshness, and outstanding length. It should have a decade of lognevity, although I would lean towards drinking bottles over the coming 2-4 years.

fine yellow; the nose gives an air of gingerbread, hints of salt, carries a white flowers presence. The palate opens on citrus influences, bears a consistent line of freshness, finishes with a note of white plum, light white peach, retains its juice agreeably. It’s fluent enough for the aperitif.
