L'Oratoire des Papes : Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2022

Equal parts Bourboulenc, Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne, the 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Clos de l'Oratoire des Papes Blanc is classically styled, matured in a mix of new barriques (20%) and concrete tanks (80%). It's medium to full-bodied, silky textured and nicely balanced, with mellow notes of melon, tangerine and lime zest all lingering on the finish.

Pretty pear, honeyed citrus, and subtle orchard fruits as well as a kiss of minerality and minty herbs all emerge from the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc, a clean, medium-bodied, vibrant white with good acidity and outstanding length.
