“The 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Réservée Blanc showed beautifully, with an exotic, tropical style in its honeyed orange, melon, minty herb, and tangerine-like nuances. It's medium-bodied, has a round, layered mouthfeel, good acidity, and a great finish. The classic cuvée here is based largely on Clairette (60%) yet includes smaller amounts of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, and Bourboulenc, and it’s raised all in stainless steel.”
