The 2016 Chateauneuf Du Pape Blanc from Château de la Gardine is composed of 90% old vines Roussanne and 10% Clairette. It is very aromatic, especially with some extended air contact. There are aromatics of golden apple, peach, wild flowers, and honey blossom. An elegant white with a lovely texture and excellent balance. This will benefit from another year or two of bottle age and flourish over the next decade.
