An equal-parts blend of Bourboulenc, Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne, with only the last matured in barrique (the others stay in stainless steel), Giraud's 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Les Gallimardes features hints of toast accenting notes of ripe pear and pineapple. Medium to full-bodied, it's ripe and round in the mouth, then firms up and gains focus on the lengthy finish, adding notes of lime zest and brine. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes.

A blend of Bourboulenc, Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne, partially fermented and aged in oak, the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Les Gallimardes features scents of pineapple, tangerine and melon, with just the barest hint of pencil shavings. In the mouth, it's medium to full-bodied, with a fine, silky texture and a lingering, elegant finish.

The 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Les Gallimardes is a blend of Bourboulenc, Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne. The Roussanne goes into oak, while the other varieties do not. Notes of honeyed pineapple mark the nose, while the full-bodied palate is silky yet fresh, finishing round and lush, with a hint of cinnamon.

Equal parts Bourboulenc, Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne, with the Roussanne the only portion to see oak, the 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Gallimardes Blanc is a full-bodied, creamy-textured wine, with rich honey and marmalade notes balanced by crisp lime zest and a vibrant, saline edge to the finish. It should drink well for the next few years.

The 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Gallimardes Blanc is a blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Clairette and Bourboulenc. It shows a touch of oak in its honeyed nose and rich texture but remains lively from start to finish, revealing bergamot, lime and musky spice notes on the long finish. It should drink well for at least a few years.
