A varied blend of 30% Clairette, 25% Bourboulenc, 22% Roussanne and 20% Grenache Blanc, with 2% Picpoul Blanc and 1% Picardin, Beaurenard's 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is a finely balanced, plump beauty, with hints of crushed stone, melon rind and lime on the nose, a softly creamy mid-palate and lingering finish.
