Something rare for you - a mature Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc by one of the famous producers there. Lovely complexity now but will hold for the next 5 years easy.
'The Clos des Papes 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is composed of all the white varietals permitted in Chateauneuf du Pape. Although it is not put through malolactic fermentation and sees no oak whatsoever, this cuvee has proven to age remarkably well. The 2011 exhibits lots of poached pear, honeysuckle, quince and white currants as well as a full-bodied, powerful (15.6% natural alcohol) style. It reveals lots of glycerin along with wonderful freshness, acidity and purity.' RP 92.
