The 2014 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc from La Bastide Saint Dominique is a blend of equal parts Roussanne, Grenache Blanc and Clairette. It is classic and strait forward with aromas of spring flowers, honey suckle, lime zest, and white peach. The palate has a lively freshness with good minerality, pear and orchard fruit. The finish is long with a firm grip of acidity. This will open up over the next year or two and can be enjoyed across the next decade. (Best 2016-2025) - October, 2015 (MD)
