Beaurenard’s 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape blanc, which is made from Clairette, Roussanne, Bourboulenc and Grenache blanc as well as Picpoul and Picardan (pretty much a kitchen sink of white varieties in Chateauneuf du Pape), displays loads of tangerine and lemon zest notes in a fresh, medium-bodied, steely, crisp style. One of the great old families of Chateauneuf du Pape, the Coulons have been biodynamically farming their vineyards for decades, which can’t be easy given the fact that they own over two dozen parcels spread throughout the appellation. The 2009s performed even better this year than they did last year prior to bottling. Both 2010s were primary and extremely young. Having tasted in Chateauneuf du Pape at the same time of year (usually 11-12 months after the harvest) for many years, few vintages seemed as young and primary as 2010 (others were 2007 and 1998).
