The Villa Safranier Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc is a lovely showing from winemaker Claude Hilt. This blend of 85% Clairette and 15% Clairette Rose, begins with light golden color followed by aromas of apple, tangerine, crushed stone and hazelnut. A very tasty blanc, with nice flavors of citrus and a good zip of acidity. Flavors of orchard fruits persist into the clean and crisp finish. This is an elegant wine that is approachable today, and should continue to drink beautifully over the next 6-8 years.
