Parker about Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 1999
I have to say that the 1999 Clos des Papes Chateauneuf du Pape blanc (a blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Clairette, Bourboulenc, and Picardin) is an impressive dry white. It offers aromas of peaches and pears presented in a medium-bodied, fruit-driven format.
