Critics Scores
Wine Spectator
Ripe and rich, but focused, with verbena, bitter almond and wet stone notes threading through the core of creamed yellow apple, pear and melon flavors. Very long, with a gorgeous salted butter echo.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
In just one short year, the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc has blossomed into a richer wine, with ripe pineapple and tangerine flavors balanced by crisp lime notes. Medium to full-bodied, it boasts a lovely, silky texture and a long, finely nuanced finish. It should drink well for another 5-7 years.
Jeb Dunnuck
The 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc is always more straight, focused, and chiseled than the La Roquete. Lemon curd, white flowers, salty minerality, and ample licorice notes all give way to a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, beautifully balanced white. Give it a few years.
Decanter
Breezy, blossomy style with citrus pith. Full-bodied with good concentration but good acidity, fresh and lively. There's lovely balance between vibrant fresh fruits, acidity and some discreet, pithy structural bitterness. The long finish displays some subtle oak influence. Drinking Window 2018 - 2022
