2019 Château de Nalys Châteauneuf-du-Pape Saintes Pierres Blanc

The 2019 Château de Nalys Châteauneuf-du-Pape “Saintes Pierres” Blanc is a refined and expressive Southern Rhône white, crafted under the Guigal family with a focus on freshness, purity and terroir expression. Made from a classic blend of Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Roussanne and Picardan, it offers a vibrant and approachable interpretation of Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc.

The nose is elegant and aromatic, revealing notes of citrus, peach and pear, layered with white flowers, honeysuckle and a subtle mineral lift. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a smooth, rounded texture balanced by bright acidity. Flavours of lemon, white stone fruit and gentle spice are supported by a saline, mineral backbone, leading to a fresh, clean and persistent finish.

The style is polished and balanced, combining richness with precision, making it both immediately enjoyable and suitable for short to mid-term aging (up to 10 years).

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic entry into premium Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc for customers looking for a fresh yet textured Rhône white. Ideal for those who enjoy white Rhône blends or richer Sauvignon-based wines with minerality. This is not a heavy white - it’s about balance, elegance and drinkability. Drink now or over the next 5–8 years. Perfect with seafood, grilled fish, poultry or creamy dishes.
