Chateau De Nalys Description

 

 

 

Jeb Dunnuck: 94 Points

The top wine, the 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc is based on 43% Roussanne, 33% Grenache Blanc, 15% Clairette, 6% Bourboulenc, 3% Piquepoul, almost one-third of each terroir. It's a richer, bigger wine that offers loads of brioche, caramelized peach, quince, white flowers, and crushed rock-like minerality. Medium to full-bodied, beautifully textured, balanced and long, with good acidity, it's a beautiful wine that's going to age gracefully.

Decanter: 93 Points

This is 'the vision of Guigal in Nalys' according to Philippe Guigal. It has floral and citrus notes on the nose, primarily lily. Cashew notes from the oak are secondary to the fruits and flowers, discreet and well-integrated. The palate is rich, weighty and concentrated, with bright acidity running through it to a long finish. It has a drinkability thanks to its purity and clarity of flavour, but it also displays the intensity and regal texture of good white Châteauneuf-du-Pape. A blend of 43% Roussanne, 33% Grenache Blanc, 15% Clairette, 6% Bourboulenc and 3% Piquepoul. Drinking Window 2019 - 2025

Wine Advocate: 93 Points

A solid first effort from the new ownership, the 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Grand Vin Blanc is a blend of 43% Roussanne, 33% Grenache Blanc, 15% Clairette, 6% Bourboulenc and 3% Picpoul. Seventy percent of the blend aged in oak, but I'd say that component is discrete, adding just a hint of pencil shavings and a fine-grained, silky texture. It's full-bodied and succulent, delivering an attractive combination of pineapple and saline notes with understated elegance.
