Although the vast majority of Châteauneuf-du-Pape (95%) is red, a little white is made under that appellation. Chapoutier, a star Rhône producer, has bottled a delectable example. Straw yellow, it has good weight without heaviness. Wonderful acidity balances the stone fruit nuances in this robust white. A lovely texture and hint of spice in the finish completes the package. Drink now.
