Jeb Dunnuck: I always love this white, and the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc Clos Roquete Blanc is no exception. Pure, clean, and elegant, with medium-bodied aromas and flavors of ripe lemon, honeysuckle, and white flowers, it has a pretty, seamless, impeccably balanced profile and is already impossible to resist.

Wine Advocate: The 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is a rather zesty and crisp style with scents of lime and pink grapefruit on the nose. Just medium-bodied, it's plump and round, showing some lees influence, then clean, refreshing and long, showing excellent intensity and a distinctive character. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. Part of the Brunier family's holdings (Vieux Télégraphe), Clos la Roquête is a white wine-only property based on a sandy site located near Pignan and Rayas. The physical winery is located in the village of Châteauneuf du Pape, housing the winemaking facility for Piedlong and processing about half the fruit for the Telegramme label. The wines are fine and elegant, roughly equal parts Clairette, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne.
