A blend of 85% Roussanne and the rest Viognier and Clairette, I'd put the 2020 Costières De Nîmes JT Blanc in a blind lineup of Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc on its quality level. Stone and orchard fruits, honeysuckle, toasted bread, and white flower notes are just some of the nuances, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a fleshy, up-front texture, good acidity, and terrific overall balance. This cuvée shows less overt oak than in the past and is slightly more accessible. Drink it over the coming 4-6 years. Maturity: 2022-2028. Score - 94. (jebdunnuck.com, Jan. 25, 2022)
