(made with no malo and aged entirely in stainless steel tanks): Bright, chartreuse-hued yellow. Penetrating aromas of fresh citrus and orchard fruits are joined by strong notes of chalky minerals, white flowers and ginger. Juicy and concentrated on the palate, offering vibrant pear skin and Meyer lemon flavors that show superb clarity and thrust. The mineral and floral notes come back strong on the finish, which hangs on with excellent focus and tenacity.

Focused, with chamomile and star fruit notes gilding the edges of the white peach and yellow apple fruit. Light mineral and salted butter hints extend the finish. Shows good purity. Drink now through 2017.

The team at Mont Redon fashioned a beautiful and elegant 2014 Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc that's made from 55% Grenache, 20% Clairette and the rest Bourboulenc and other permitted varieties. Aged six months in stainless steel, it's medium-bodied, racy, and crisp on the palate with lots of pear, spiced citrus and hints of mint in the bouquet. I'd drink it over the coming couple of years, but this will evolve nicely for longer as well.

The white at Mont-Redon is a blend of Grenache Blanc and Roussanne. This is full-bodied and round in the mouth, with straighforward, pleasantly fruity notes of pineapple and citrus that nicely balance ripeness and acidity. Drink now.
