The honeyed and cedar-inflected 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes Blanc shows a bit too much oak on the nose, but it serves to structure the wine on the palate, pushing the pear and melon notes into something more focused and refreshing than it would be otherwise. It's still a ripe, round wine, marked by oak spice and lingering wood on the finish.

A wine not to be overlooked is the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc, an equal part blend of Roussanne and Clairette. Honeysuckle, quince, white flowers, and hints of white peaches and apricots are all present in this complex, aromatic wine, which has a light golden color, full body, and remarkably fresh acids and length. It should drink well for another 1-2 years. (Not yet released)Importer: Wilson-Daniels, St. Helena, CA; tel. (707) 963-9661
