The only way to convince consumers (and I count myself among this group) that white Châteauneufs can age is to pull out examples such as this. Clos des Papes’s 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is the greatest aged white CdP I’ve ever tried. There are some oily, terpene-like characters but also ripe, slightly honeyed pineapple notes in this round, medium to full-bodied wine that retains a great sense of freshness—even grapefruity citrus on the long, long finish. Sure, not all white CdPs age like this, but when they do…
