95 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc showed beautifully, with a light gold hue and terrific aromatics of white peach, honeyed white flowers, and minty herbs. It shows the richer style of the vintage yet has beautiful freshness, flawless balance, and a great finish. This powerful, concentrated white is up with the crème de la crème of the vintage. This will evolve for a solid decade. Drink: 2023-2033. (10/30/23)"
93 points Wine Spectator: "[$65 list] A full, rich white, with smoke, citrus peel, quince and green plum flavors that have a zesty edge on an otherwise silky, mouthcoating palate. Mineral energy and a racy beam of acidity cuts through, keeping this fresh, while fresh green herbs, chamomile and more smoke detail the savory finish. Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne and Bourboulenc. Drink now through 2027. 20 cases imported. (10/25/23)"
92 points Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate): "The 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc, like the preceding vintages, is an equal-parts blend of Bourboulenc, Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne, with the Grenache and Roussanne seeing oak (second-use barrique this vintage) and the others going into tank. Hints of toasted marshmallow appear on the nose of this round, generous wine that's loaded with pear and melon fruit. Medium to full-bodied, it's lushly textured on the mid-palate, then tightens up on the dusty, slightly chalky finish. Drink it on the young side. Drink: 2023-2025. (10/12/23)"
