Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Prestige

One of the finest whites made in the vintage is unquestionably the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Prestige Blanc from Janasse. Based on 70% Roussanne, 20% Grenache Blanc and the rest a mix of varieties, vinified and aged in demi-muids (there are only two barrels), it has rock star notes of white peaches, caramelized citrus, white flowers, spice, and subtle tangerine-like exotic notes. It’s a rich, medium to full-bodied, concentrated white that has vibrant acidity, perfect balance, and a great, great finish. There are few Rhône whites better than this beauty. Drink it anytime over the coming two decades. 97/100

Galloni om: Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Prestige

Light yellow-gold. A highly complex, expansive bouquet evokes ripe citrus and orchard fruits, along with suggestions of honey, pungent flowers and smoky minerals. Concentrated, palate-staining poached pear, Meyer lemon and honeysuckle flavors are given spine by a core of juicy acidity. The mineral and floral notes drive a strikingly persistent finish that leaves a hint of bitter pear skin behind. This one's definitely built for the long haul. 96/100

Parker om: Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Prestige

The stunning 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Cuvee Prestige features dramatic flavors of honey, pineapples and tangerines. It's broad, full-bodied and expansive in the mouth, imbued with palate-saturating richness. A blend of 60% Roussanne, 20% Grenache Blanc and the rest a blend of other permitted varieties, fermented and aged in 500- and 600-liter oak barrels, it boasts a flamboyant, exotic personality that I prefer to enjoy in its first several years. 95/100
