Exotic flowers, tropical fruits, and toasted spice notes all emerge from the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc, a beautifully textured, medium-bodied, concentrated white that brings more richness and depth than most in the vintage. It still shows the bright, fresher style of the vintage and is a serious white that's going to shine on the dinner table.
