Loved this incredible Chateauneuf du Pape blanc at the Eric Soloman tasting in South Boston at the Seaport Hotel...
Many white Chateauneufs can be a little flabby, without a lot of refreshing qualities, but this one is bright and superclean. Heaps and gobs of vibrant tangerine and squeaky clean minerality cleansed the palate effortlessly. Made from 100% Grenache Blanc, and barrel aged for eight months in 25% new oak this really blew our minds. A hefty $80 price tag didn't detract from the experience... If you can afford it, just do it!
