Château La Nerthe Clos de Beauvenir Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2023
$179
The 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Clos De Beauvenir Blanc (52% Roussanne and 48% Grenache Blanc) is along the same lines, if not a touch more focused and precise. Honeyed pears, white flowers, spice, and crushed stone-like minerality all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, has a concentrated, layered mouthfeel, and a gorgeous finish. You can safely put this up with the crème de la crème of the vintage, and it should evolve gracefully over the coming decade if well stored. Maturity: 2024-2034.
