The 2024 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc La Crau is at eye level with the equally stunning 2020 and 2021 renditions, mixing 40% Clairette with 25% Grenache Blanc, 25% Roussanne and 10% Bourboulenc. Swirling the glass unlocks fresh white flowers, lemon flesh, pear and a flicker of pastry. Medium- to full-bodied and compact, the precise-cut 2024 will benefit from a few years of cellaring but is hard to resist in its youth. 93 points
