Anna Lee C. Iijima - Wine Enthusiast
Matured for just eight months and geared back in oak influences, this fresh, fruit-focused white is a youthful, mouthwatering expression of Châteauneuf-du-Pape blanc. A full-bodied blend of five classic white grapes, it highlights a crisp backdrop of tart yellow pear and grapefruit flavors juxtaposed by rich swathes of buttercream, hazelnut and cinnamon. Complex yet accessible immediately, the wine should drink well through 2030.

Peter Moser - Falstaff
Light yellow-green, silver reflections. Delicate nuances of fresh pear and meadow herbs, rather restrained, a hint of orange zest. Medium complexity, white apple fruit, some mango and honey, elegant and persistent, already a well-developed food companion.

Joe Czerwinski - Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Drawn mainly from the lieux-dits of Bois Sénéchal and Nalys, the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Saintes Pierres Blanc is a crisp, focused, almost Burgundian-styled white, with a healthy dose of Clairette in the blend. It's medium-bodied, linear and long, with notes of white pepper and lime zest on the nose.
