Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC Barberini Blanc

La Solitude's 2020 Cuvée Barberini Blanc ratchets up the intensity from the Tradition cuvée, showing more richness and depth and being more geared for the dinner table. Brioche, honeysuckle, toasted brioche, white flowers, and ripe stone fruits all define the nose. Its medium-bodied and shows plenty of mid-palate depth with a stunning finish of marmalade and peach compote and nuancing minerality. It will happily age in bottle another decade, improving further still. Serve at 10-12ºC.
