Powerful and sleek, this shows a glistening beam of yellow apple wrapped in stylish oak, with tremendous underlying concentration. Modern and very well-executed, with a saline streak, this hums with mineral energy and impressive structure on the seemingly never-ending finish. Still tightly wound, this should do well in the cellar. Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne and Bourboulenc.
The 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Magis is a total stunner, unwinding with crushed flowers, white peach, vanilla, yellow apple, lemon flesh and toasty elements. Offering a vertical sensation on the full-bodied palate, the 2020 packs outstanding intensity and focus. A deliciously saline note accompanies the complex finish.
A blend of 75% Grenache Blanc, 10% each Clairette and Roussanne and 5% Bourboulenc, the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Magis was fermented and spent two years in new 500-liter barrels (with occasional stirring) prior to bottling. The result is toasty and spicy, with a pronounced oak and lees character, backed by ripe tangerines and plenty of lime zest and brine. It's full-bodied, nicely rounded in the mouth, yet retains a long, crisp and saline quality on the finish.
