While the old-vine Roussanne cuvée from this estate gets all the attention from collectors, don't make the mistake of discounting their classic Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc. The 2019 reveals a lighter gold hue as well as a beautiful and classic bouquet of honeyed citrus, quince, white flowers, bee's wax, and a touch of flinty minerality. Playing in the medium to full-bodied end of the spectrum, it has flawless balance, nicely integrated acidity, and a great, minerally finish. You can enjoy bottles today with a decant or cellar for two to three decades, if you're so inclined. Maturity: 2020-2027. Score - 95. (Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com, Oct. 6, 2020)
