Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Saintes Pierres de Nalys Guigal Chateau de Nalys 2020 (750ML)

95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "The 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Saintes Pierres De Nalys Blanc is 60% Grenache Blanc, 20% Clairette, and the rest a mix of permitted varieties brought up in demi-muids and concrete. It's a bigger, richer wine than normal, with a gorgeous array of white peach, honeyed tangerines, white flowers, and a kiss of minerality. With remarkable purity, medium to full body, a focused, elegant mouthfeel, and good acidity, it's going to evolve for 10-15 years.One of the most exciting estates today in Châteauneuf du Pape has to be Château de Nalys, which was purchased by the Guigal family in 2017, who installed the talented Ralph Garcin as director and head winemaker. To say the estate has seen a turnaround would be an understatement, and these latest releases are unquestionably up with the finest wines of the vintage. The estate is on the cusp of starting a huge renovation in the cellar, and I have no doubt the best is still to come. (Drink between 2023-2038)" 10/23

93 Points, Matt Walls, Decanter: "Gently nutty notes to the fruit, it's all quite restrained, more about texture than aromatics. There’s a good sense of tension on the palate, it’s very persistent, with a long, resonant finish. With impressive focus, drive, salinity and extract, this should be good in youth and in age. A real sense of completeness. 20% fermented and aged in barrels (barriques and demi-muids), the rest in stainless steel. (Drink between 2024-2035)" 09/23

92 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "A delicious, well-rounded and precise white from sandy soil around the chateau. Notes of fresh lemons, warm herbs and mild spices. It's medium-bodied with a creamy center palate. Seductive with a fruity and floral finish. Drink or hold" 04/24
