The 2022 Clos Saouma Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc MAGIS is a powerful Southern Rhône white built around old-vine Grenache Blanc with Clairette, Roussanne and Bourboulenc. The nose shows pear, jasmine and honeysuckle with citrus, cedar and subtle smoky mineral notes.
On the palate, it is full-bodied yet precise, with vibrant acidity balancing its rich texture. Citrus, orchard fruit and saline minerality build through a long, dry and persistent finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional choice for collectors seeking a distinctive, age-worthy Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc. Best enjoyed from 2028–2040. Serve lightly chilled with butter-poached marron, roast turbot, chicken with tarragon cream or seared scallops with brown butter.
