Domaine de la Janasse - Châteauneuf-du-Pape - White - 2023

Wine:

The 2023 White Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a classic example of the appellation, showcasing elegant notes of white flowers and a hint of fennel. Anchored by a mineral backbone, this well-balanced white avoids any excess alcohol, delivering remarkable freshness. Subtle bitterness and a rounded, generous texture on the palate complete this refined and approachable wine.
