Domaine de la Janasse 2018 White (Châteauneuf-du-Pape)
Editors' Choice
Toasted hazelnuts and salted caramel accent sunny grapefruit and yellow apple in this bright but deeply textural blend of Grenache Blanc (60%), Roussanne (20%) and Clairette (20%). Vinified primarily in tank with just a touch of new French oak, it's an unabashedly robust wine with a waxy, unctuous heft on the palate. Delightful already but should improve through 2030.
