Château de Nages JT White 2021

One of the finest whites I’ve tasted from Château de Nages, the 2021 Costières De Nîmes JT Blanc is mostly Roussanne yet includes 25% Viognier and 15 Grenache Blanc. Awesome notes of honeyed flowers, lemon, brioche, and spices define the aromatics, and it’s medium to full-bodied, with a layered, seamless mouthfeel and a gorgeous finish. This knockout bottle of white will stand up to anything coming from the Southern Rhône today. Aged 8 months in 500-liter barrels, enjoy bottles over the coming 3-5 years. Maturity: 2023-2028. Score – 95. (jebdunnuck.com, March 16, 2023)
