Even better, and 100% Grenache Blanc, the 2012 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Clos du Belvedere was fermented and aged all in barrel. Gorgeously pure and focused, with serious richness that never seems heavy, it offers layers of golden fruits, citrus blossom, green herbs and edgy underlying minerality to go with a medium-bodied, seamless and elegant overall profile. Classy all the way, I’d enjoy it over the coming couple of years, yet I wouldn’t be surprised to see it evolve gracefully for quite a bit longer. Drink now-2017. - Jeb Dunnuck
