Clos Saint-Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2024

Not yet reviewed; 2023 vintage rated 96 points by Jeb Dunnuck: "One of the best whites in the appellation, the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc is rich in texture while at the same time vibrant and fresh. Ripe citrus, lychee, crushed stone, and mint herb notes all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, has bright acidity, and a great finish. This is, as always, 25% each Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Clairette, and Bourboulenc that has its malolactic fermentation blocked and was brought up mostly in used Burgundy barrels."
