Clos du Mont-Olivet Châteauneuf-du-Pâpe Blanc 2023

A blend of 40% Clairette, 30% Roussanne, 14% Bourboulenc, 10% Grenache Blanc, 2% Picardan, 2% Clairette Rose and 1% of each Grenache Gris and Picpoul, the 2023 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc exhales a vibrant, aromatic bouquet of lemon oil, spring flowers, honeysuckle, pear, white peach and spices. Medium to full-bodied, perfectly balanced and fleshy, it's enveloping with bright acids and a long, delicate, mouthwatering finish enhanced by menthol notes. Matured in stainless steel (88%) and new barrels (12%) for seven months, the new oak is barely noticeable. It was derived from vines planted on six plots, all sharing the safres soil type. This is a great effort.
