A classic tank-matured blend, led by the big four—Bourboulenc, Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne—and spiced up by the inclusion of tiny proportions of Picpoul Blanc and Picardan, plus a small barrel component, Beaurenard's 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is remarkably perfumed, with bold but refined notes of lime zest and white peaches on the nose. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate, plump and fleshy, but linear as well, with a strong beam of acidity and a long, zest-riddled finish.
