The one and only Bosquet des Papes, the six-generation domaine that put the Chateauneuf appellation on the international map 100 years ago with their 'Chante le Merle' cuvee. Those of you who seek imposing, powerful, old-school Chateauneuf of the "garrigue-and-iron" persuasion know all about this legendary producer.
Critical Acclaim
92 Jeb Dunnuck
Based on Clairette, Grenache Blanc, and Bourboulenc, the 2024 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc was vinified 25% in barrels and demi-muids with the rest in tank. Beautiful, juicy, and fresh, it offers ripe citrus, melon rind, and minty herbs. Medium-bodied, fresh, focused, and balanced with juicy acidity, it's beautifully made, clean, and long. It's not massive and very much in the more juicy, elegant style of the vintage. It will drink well for 5-7 years or more. Drink 2025-2032.

Bottled two months prior to my visit, the 2024 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Cuvée Tradition is a beauty. Aged in a combination of stainless-steel tanks (75%) and oak barrels (25%), the 2024 displays fragrant yellow apple, ripe pear, cedar and gentle wet stone aromas. Medium-bodied, crisp and refreshing, the well-crafted 2024 is at eye level with the equally compelling 2023 I tasted last year.
