2018 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Saintes Pierres de Nalys

Mainly Grenache Blanc and Bourboulenc, with smaller proportions of several other white grapes, the 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Saintes Pierres Blanc looks to be a solid effort for drinking over the next few years. There's a slightly herbal overtone to the citrusy aromas, then generous peach and melon notes on the medium to full-bodied palate, with an anise note on the finish. 2019-2022 .

I loved the 2018 Châteauneuf Du Pape Saintes Pierres De Nalys Blanc. This wine continues to impress me, and this was its finest showing yet. Made in a more focused, reductive, vibrant style, it offers lots of crushed citrus and white peach-like fruit as well as some subtle spice and white flower notes. Medium to full-bodied, racy yet concentrated, it tastes like a beautiful White Burgundy from the South.

With good concentration, depth of flavor, richness and lift, the wine is full-bodied, fruity, fresh and filled with sweet, dark red fruits, cherries, herbs and earth. The wine is made from a Grenache dominated blend with Mourvedre and various assorted allowable grape varieties.
