Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
While I’ve always loved the white from the Brunier brothers, the 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc is the finest example of this cuvée I can remember tasting. It’s light gold color is followed by an impeccably balanced, ultra-pure, seamless white that has complex notes of white flowers, hazelnuts, just crushed rocks and citrus blossom. This beauty doesn’t hit you over the head with fruit or sweetness, yet grows on you with time in the glass. You can drink it today, as well as cellar it for two decades.
Jeb Dunnuck
The 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc is in the same ballpark and shows terrific stone fruits, buttered citrus, and hints of toasted nuts in its perfectly balanced, layered, pure profile. As I wrote last year, this cuvée is the finest example of this cuvée I’ve tasted (that was, until the 2016 came along). You can drink this beauty today or cellar for 15-20 years.
James Suckling
A blend of 40 clairette with the balance grenache blanc and bourboulenc in equal parts. The palate is crisp and floral, with dried flowers and chalk. An extremely savory and stony expression. Impressive. Average vine age of 50 years. Drink now.
Vinous
Brilliant straw-gold. Mineral-laced citrus and orchard fruit aromas show excellent clarity and a suave floral overtone. Minerally and delineated on the palate, which displays sharply focused pear, tangerine and honeysuckle flavors that turn fleshier with air. Concentrated yet light on its feet. A vibrant mineral note drives the impressively long, floral finish.
Wine Spectator
This is packed with a range of star fruit, anise, white peach, yellow apple and Cavaillon melon notes that run seamlessly together, gilded with chamomile and orange blossom details on the creamy finish. A late echo of wet pebbles adds further range and intrigue. Drink now through 2019. 342 cases imported.
