2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc, Domaine des Saumades, Rhône

Description

The 2021 Saumades Blanc is especially mineral this year with a restrained nose of wet stones and delicate white peach. More pure peach mixed with Braeburn apples comes through on the palate which is fine and vibrant with layers of subtle savoury flavours gently coming through. Subtle hints of white flowers and just the teeniest note of honey add complexity on the long, saline finish.

Critics reviews

Alistair Cooper MW 15.5/20

Tasted blind. Beguiling nose with stone fruit, makrut lime, marzipan and rich fruits. Well-judged acidity and a wet-wool note on the finish.

Drink 2025 - 2032

Bright citrus, lime, and minty notes all emerge from the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc, a juicy, fruit-forward, delicious white to drink over the coming couple of years.

About this wine

Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Châteauneuf-du-Pape

The largest and most important appellation in the southern Rhône, with more than 3,200 hectares of vineyards and over 80 growers, Châteauneuf-du-Pape produces more wine than the whole of the northern Rhône combined. The gloriously rich red wines, redolent of the heat and herbs of the south, are enhanced by the complexity which comes from blending several of the 14 permitted grape varieties including Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah.
