The whites from this rain devastated vintage are the best kept secret (most were harvest before the flood) and Beaucastel's 2002 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc has a vibrant, light gold color as well as classic notes of orange blossom, stone fruits, honeysuckle and salty minerality. Medium to full-bodied, balanced and clean, it's drinking at point, and while I'd drink bottles over the coming 4-5 years, it will hold for longer. - Jeb Dunnuck
