Based on 40% Roussanne and 30% each Clairette and Grenache Blanc (which is more Roussanne than usual due to the hail), the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc has a killer bouquet of ripe melon, orchard fruits, white flowers, and toasted spice. I love its richness, it's medium to full-bodied, has a great mid-palate, and nicely integrated acidity.
