The 2023 Domaine Pierre André Blanc is a love letter to white Châteauneuf-du-Pape—a wine that surprises, delights, and reminds you why this corner of the Rhône remains so captivating. From the historic Domaine de Beaurenard, where eight generations have stewarded the land with care and vision, this biodynamic treasure proves that white Châteauneuf-du-Pape is an experience worth seeking out.
This wine feels alive, shaped by a vintage that was anything but predictable. Drought, hail, rain, and the mercurial temperament of Provençal skies tested the vines, but what emerged is a testament to resilience and craft. The co-fermentation of six varietals—Clairette Blanche and Rose, Grenache Blanc and Gris, Bourboulenc, Roussanne, Picpoul, and Picardan—draws from the full spectrum of the appellation’s terroir: limestone’s sharp edges, clay’s grounding richness, and fine sand’s delicate touch.
The 2023 vintage dances between delicacy and dynamism. Imagine walking through the garrigue after a rainstorm—wild herbs, blooming flowers, the faintest trace of salt in the air. That’s this wine. It opens with aromas of white blossoms and citrus zest, offering a fresh, almost electric energy on the palate. A whisper of salinity carries through to the finish, leaving you craving the next sip. Aged for six months in a combination of stainless steel vats, foudres, and oak barrels, it balances purity with texture, each component in perfect harmony.
This is a wine to pair with life’s most joyful moments: a sun-drenched lunch of Provençal seafood, or simply a quiet evening spent marveling at how wine can evoke both place and emotion. The 2023 Domaine Pierre André Blanc isn’t just a bottle; it’s an invitation to experience Châteauneuf-du-Pape in its most unexpected and luminous form.
This wine is a pre-sale with expected arrival by end of February.
