2020 Domaine du Grand Tinel Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc bordeaux blend

2020 Domaine du Grand Tinel Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc bordeaux blendThis luscious, full bodied blend of Grenache Blanc (60%), Clairette (25%) and Roussanne (15%) drenches the palate in pools of fresh cantaloupe, pear and grapefruit rimmed by a crush of salty minerality. It's vibrant in fruit but penetrating and complex too, anchored by that stony, almost crystalline verve that lingers through the finish. Delicious young, the wine should mature nicely through 2035 and hold further as well.
