Vieux Télégraphe Blanc 2024
JEB DUNNUCK – DÉGUSTATION NOVEMBRE 2025
(95) Based on 40% Clairette, 25% each Grenache Blanc and Roussanne, and 10% Bourboulenc and brought up sur lie in barrels, demi-muids, and 30-hectoliter foudres, the 2024 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc exudes aromas of honeyed stone fruits, crushed minerals, white flowers, brioche, and a hint of almond paste. It’s medium to full-bodied, with a pure, focused, elegant mouthfeel and a great finish. This is a quintessential, ultra-classic, balanced, impeccably made Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc that needs 2-3 years of bottle age and will keep for 10-15 years in cold cellars. Drink 2027-2040.
VINOUS – NICOLAS GREINACHER – DÉGUSTATION OCTOBRE 2025
(93) The 2024 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc La Crau is at eye level with the equally stunning 2020 and 2021 renditions, mixing 40% Clairette with 25% Grenache Blanc, 25% Roussanne and 10% Bourboulenc. Swirling the glass unlocks fresh white flowers, lemon flesh, pear and a flicker of pastry. Medium- to full-bodied and compact, the precise-cut 2024 will benefit from a few years of cellaring but is hard to resist in its youth.
JAMESSUCKLING.COM – Apr 10, 2025 – JAMES SUCKLING
(95) A driven, precise and well-composed white with aromas of green apples, sweet lemons, warm herbs, fennel and almond powder. It’s medium- to full-bodied with an attractive, textural mid-palate. Plenty of minerality adds freshness and balance. Flavorful, tactile and long. Drink or hold.
