Robert Parker
"The 2014 Châteauneuf du Pape blanc should be extraordinary. Made predominantly from Grenache blanc and Roussanne, with many other grape varieties, it has straight, elegant notes of white peach, white flowers and green citrus. The palate is medium-bodied, nicely textured and balanced." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)
