2017 Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf-Du-Pape La Crau Blanc

A stonier, more mineral expression of white Chateauneuf with impressive body and concentration. Super-fresh, white flowers, flint and delicate pears here. The palate has a strong, mineral edge, smooth phenolics, fleshy stone fruit and a neat, fine, chalky finish. Clairette, grenache blanc, roussanne and bourboulenc. Drink in 2020.  – 96 points, James Suckling
