I continue to absolutely love the white from this estate and their 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc offers a beautiful elegant vibrant style while still bringing plenty of richness. Harvested relatively early and brought up in tank and demi-muids with no malolactic fermentation (like Clos des Papes) it has lots of pear and melon fruits as well as some brioche and subtle mineral nuances. Balanced medium-bodied and just a joy to drink I?d enjoy bottles over the coming 2-4 years but would not be surprised to see this have an interesting evolution over the coming decade or more as well.

Marcoux's 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is predominantly Roussanne with the balance a blend of Bourboulenc and Clairette. It's slightly honeyed on the nose with notes of ripe peach and pear. Aged in a mix of demi-muids and stainless steel it's full-bodied rich but balanced with hints of toasted grain citrus and salted licorice helping maintain focus through the long mouthwatering finish. Tasted twice (once blind) with consistent notes.
