91pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Still in tank, the 2023 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc from Domaine de la Charbonniere reveals a shy, closed bouquet of lemon, honeysuckle and white fruits. Medium to full-bodied, it's a bit oaky and has a long, slightly bitter finish. This blend of 40% Grenache Blanc, 40% Roussanne and 20% Clairette, matured in new barrels (35%) and stainless steel (65%), is elegant and promises good aging potential for the next 5 years.

Winemaker Notes

Sumptuous bouquet of white flowers, citruses, lavender, and honey, as well as, flint stone. The mouth is round and creamy yet with a nice tension and a long finish.
