Based largely on Grenache Blanc, the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Vendange Blanc is medium gold-hued with juicy apple and citrus-driven fruit as well as sappy flower and mint-like nuances. It’s beautifully balanced, medium-bodied, has good acidity, and outstanding length. It’s going to have 3-5 years of longevity and is one classy effort.
