The Story
The 2021 Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc Cuvée A Tempo spent 12 months in an eclectic mix of vessels: a 600-liter concrete egg, a 225-liter ceramic egg and two older barriques. Faintly nutty accents (almond?) appear on the nose, backed by white peach and tangerine fruit. Medium to full-bodied, it's dense, compact and complex, adding hints of pine resin and poached pear on the lingering finish. It should age magnificently.
