E Guigal Chateau de Nalys Chateneuf du Pape Blanc 2017 - Flask Fine Wine & Whisky

E Guigal Chateau de Nalys Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc 2017

Guigal’s mastery of growing and producing white wine varieties in the Rhone Valley is exemplified in this wine of immense breadth and power, elegance and expression. Intensely aromatic nose of white flowers, citrus and a touch of vanilla, on the palate the presence is undeniably penetrating, with a deep minerality joining the notes above. Guigal is today the single most important producer by value and volume of white wine in the Rhone, with 25% of their production dedicated to whites. Nalys is 18% planted to whites, very high for the area, and in fact at one point it is believed the estate made the majority of the entire appellation’s white wine production.

Pale youthful gold, clear and brilliant color. On the nose intense notes of white flowers and citrus with a lovely vanilla note. The palate has breadth, elegance and length. A noble wine, elegant and very expressive.

Critical Acclaim

94 Jeb Dunnuck

The top wine, the 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc is based on 43% Roussanne, 33% Grenache Blanc, 15% Clairette, 6% Bourboulenc, 3% Piquepoul, almost one-third of each terroir. It's a richer, bigger wine that offers loads of brioche, caramelized peach, quince, white flowers, and crushed rock-like minerality. Medium to full-bodied, beautifully textured, balanced and long, with good acidity, it's a beautiful wine that's going to age gracefully.

93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

A solid first effort from the new ownership, the 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Grand Vin Blanc is a blend of 43% Roussanne, 33% Grenache Blanc, 15% Clairette, 6% Bourboulenc and 3% Picpoul. Seventy percent of the blend aged in oak, but I'd say that component is discrete, adding just a hint of pencil shavings and a fine-grained, silky texture. It's full-bodied and succulent, delivering an attractive combination of pineapple and saline notes with understated elegance.

91 Wine Spectator

Alluring, with a brioche note pervading the core of creamed white peach, warm yellow apple and white ginger flavors before draping over a jasmine oiltinged finish. Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Bourboulenc and Picpoul. Drink now. 833 cases made, 275 cases imported.
