100% Certified Biodynamic Rare and very elegant wine, it is pale yellow with some green nuances. It expresses a subtle floral, well-balanced and fresh bouquet. This wine has scents of ripe grapes, fennel, honey, anise, green olive, gun flint, and plenty more. Very complex in flavors, and quite rich on the palate.

90pts The Wine Advocate– 2017 vintage

FOR THE 2017 VINTAGE
The medium to full-bodied 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is an easy-drinking blend of 40% Bourboulenc, 30% Clairette and 10% each Clairette Rose, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne. Melon and citrus flavors finish clean and fresh. To drink in the next year or two.

92pts The Wine Advocate– 2017 vintage

FOR THE 2018 VINTAGE
Looking altogether more serious than previous vintages, the 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is an identical blend of 40% Bourboulenc, 30% Clairette and 10% each Clairette Rose, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne. Aged in concrete, it delivers unadorned scents of almonds and tangerines, a ripe, round, full-bodied feel on the palate and spicy-peppery notes on the long finish.

N/Apts Decanter Magazine–2018  vintage

FOR THE 2018 VINTAGE
Distinctly tangerine jelly beans on the nose here, along with piercing citrus, a touch of lavender and pithy pink grapefruit. Quite a marked acidity, and a subtle positive bitterness with good length too. The alcohol is a touch high, but this is an interesting, complex, inviting wine. A good value pick. Organically grown on limestone and galets roules, this is a blend of Clairette Rose 10%, Grenache Blanc 10%, Bourboulenc 40%, Roussanne 10%, Clairette 30%, all fermented then aged for five months in concrete tank.
