Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc, Château Fortia 2017

Rhone, France

The rich, expressive, golden colour of this delightful white Chateauneuf-du-Pape gives you a hint of what to expect.  Although still relatively young, the colour and flavours are deliciously developed with layer upon layer of unctous flavour. Think dried apricots with savoury spices.   This is the sort of glass that you can sit down and contemplate with your feet up and the dog curled up next to you.
