The white standout of the entire region
The 2017 Le Vieux Donjon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc—the white standout of the entire region—is a rarity, a “sappy, seamless and focused” wine, according to the 93-point rave in Vinous, with “an exotically perfumed bouquet [that] evokes pear and peach nectar, honeysuckle and candied ginger, and a smoky mineral quality builds in the glass.” We didn’t go to Châteauneuf-du-Pape for white wine, but we couldn’t stop talking about this effusive bottling—so we turned the car around, and snapped up this rarity, which combines a round, plush texture and incredible herbal undertones.
