Ripe and fresh, with bright melon, white peach and yellow apple notes laced with honeysuckle and verbena. Just a kiss of meringue on the finish completes this tasty offering. Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Bourboulenc. Drink now
Jeb Dunnuck: 92+ Points
Lightly hued, with more subtle yet classy notes of lemon curd, spice, and sappy green herbs, the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc is medium-bodied and has a layered, perfectly balanced mouthfeel, bright acidity, and a great finish. Give bottles another year in bottle to develop additional complexity and it will evolve nicely for over a decade. The blend is 47% Roussanne, 38% Grenache Blanc, and the balance Clairette and Bourboulenc.
Vinous: 91 Points
Lively aromas of honeysuckle, yellow apple, white peach, cedar and discreet vanilla introduce the 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc. It is a medium to fullbodied, discreetly oily-textured white with a juicy finish.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
La Nerthe's 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc—mainly Roussanne and Grenache Blanc, with smaller amounts of Clairette and Bourboulenc—offers attractive notes of wood spice, honeyed pear and tangerine. Fermented and matured in a mix of barriques, demi-muids and tanks, it's medium to full-bodied, plump, silky textured and long. Overall, it's harmonious despite being a bit oaky, charming and easy to drink. Best after 2021
