Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2014

Its medium-gold colour is followed by lots of apples, lemon curd and citrus-like fruit characteristics that give way to more spice, toast and minerality with time in the glass. Vibrant, fresh and borderline racy, while not being lean, it’s an outstanding white that will benefit from a year in bottle and have a graceful evolution for another decade or more.
