Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2022

The 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc brings another level of precision and focus. Honeyed quince, white flowers, honeysuckle, chalky minerality, and toasted spice notes all define the aromatics, and it’s medium to full-bodied, with beautiful mid-palate depth and a remarkable sense of freshness while staying rich and textured. Score – 95. (jebdunnuck.com, Oct. 30, 2023)
