The 2005 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape blanc

Raveneau, Chablis other_regions full and sleekly muscled big-bodied(from vines near Montmains). Here too there is good freshness to the slightly riper aromas of grapefruit, quinine and sea breeze. The overtly rich and lush medium bodied flavors possess an opulent mouthfeel along with a lovely texture while offering markedly better complexity on the balanced and lingering finish. This is really quite pretty and a wine that should amply reward mid term cellaring.
