2023 Châteauneuf du Pape blanc Clos des Papes Spirituosen Round and intense finish

Round and intense finish

Storage: You can drink it now for its notes of black fruits and vanilla

There is dark fruit and spice with licorice and grilled herbs

taut and crisp with cedar and graphite

but better to drink from 2025

2023 Châteauneuf du Pape blanc Clos des Papes Spirituosen Round and intense finishJeb Dunnuck : 97 Beautiful, with a ripe, layered style, the 2023 Chteauneuf Du Pape Blanc offers honeyed lemon, quince, crushed stone, and floral nuances that develop beautifully with time in the glass. It's medium to full bodied, has a deep, layered mouthfeel, beautifully integrated acidity, and a great finish. It has a touch more depth and volume compared to the 2024 and is a sensational white from this fabulous winemaker that will keep for 20+
