91 points Wine Advocate
"A blend of 35% Roussanne, 30% Clairette, 27% Grenache Blanc and 8% Bourboulenc, the 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is made in a mix of older barrels and stainless steel. Hints of tangerine, peach and pineapple mark the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is silky in texture, with a slightly chalky note on the finish. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes.
