The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Arioso showcases intense flintstone, smokey lemon, perfumed jasmine, ripe pear and a splash of herbal tea on the complex aromatic profile. Medium to full in body and focused, the inviting 2021 is an outstanding white Arioso that’s going to delight upon release. That said, it has all the ingredients to gain more finesse and complexity with extended bottle-aging. Look out for this one.
