The Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc from Domaine de la Janasse is sourced from sandy soils in the lieux-dits of La Janasse and Le Crau where the Sabon family tend about 1.5 ha of white varieties, mainly Grenache Blanc with smaller plantings of Clairette and Roussanne. The Grenache and Clairette are fermented and aged in vats and foudre while the Roussanne is fermented and age in French oak barrels.

A blend of 40% Grenache Blanc and the rest mostly Clairette and Roussanne, the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc shows the fleshy, upfront, ripe, supple style of the vintage. Ripe peach, orange blossom, toasted spice, and honeyed flower notes all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a concentrated, opulent mouthfeel and a great finish.  - 93pts Jeb Dunnuck

Voluptuous yet fresh, with a flattering kiss of oak polish overhanging pear, melon and star fruit. Spicy and luscious on the fleshy palate. Flinty minerals bring good firmness and the succulent finish resonates with salt and smoke. - 93pts Wine Spectator
