Expert Reviews — Vintage 2023
93 pts — James Suckling: “A well-balanced, supple and aromatic blend of 44% Roussanne, 41% Grenache Blanc, 11% Clairette and 4% Bourboulenc. Notes of dried lemons, spiced apples, blanched almonds, honeysuckle and sweet spices. Medium-bodied with a delicate character. Silky and poised with a flavorful finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.”
93 pts — Wine Spectator: “An opulent, fleshy style, with a core of star fruit, Cavaillon melon and quince. Creamy in feel, with baking spice and macadamia nut accents, plus salted buttercream for added richness. Smoky mineral and dried thyme elements add savory depth. Juicy deliciousness and harmonious pleasure from start to finish. Drink now through 2030.”
91 pts — Vinous: “Vinified from certified organic grapes, the 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc checks in with herbal tea, linden blossom and yellow apple aromatics, while cedar adds another layer. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated.”
90 pts — Wine Advocate: “Aromas of ripe orchard fruits, lemon oil, peanuts, pear and clove. Medium to full-bodied, enrobing and layered — vibrant and fresh on the mid-palate with a long, delicate finish. Matured for six months in large barrels (50%), new barrels (20%), used barrels (20%) and stainless steel (10%).”
