2020 | Domaine de Beaurenard | Chateauneuf-du-Pape Boisrenard Blanc

2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc is another winner that readers will love. Based on 30% Clairette, 25% Bourboulenc, 22% Roussanne, 20% Grenache Banc, and the rest tiny amounts of Picpoul Blanc and Picardan, it reveals a vivid light gold hue as well as classy notes of crushed citrus, pear, white flowers, and chalky minerality. It's clean, bright, medium-bodied, and beautifully balanced. You can drink it today or cellar it for decades.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Mainly Clairette (Blanc and Rose) and Roussanne, with smaller amounts of Grenache (Blanc and Gris) and Bourboulenc, and tiny proportions of Picpoul (Blanc and Gris) and Picardan, the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Boisrenard was fermented and matured entirely in wood, a mix of foudre (65%) and used barrique (35%). The result is toasty, honeyed and tinged with vanilla, but it also features assertive notes of lime, melon and tangerine. It's medium to full-bodied, generous and richly textured, with a long, mouthwatering finish. One of the top whites this vintage, and a perennial favorite, I typically advise drinking it young—within the first few years after release.

• Wine Spectator: Enticing, with shortbread and creamed melon notes lined with light almond and heather accents. Caressing, verbena-tinted finish. Grenache Blanc, Clairette Blanche, Grenache Gris, Bourboulenc, Roussanne, Picpoul, Picardan and Clairette Rose. Drink now through 2023.
