The 2023 Cuvée Papou, named for the family patriarch, is a roughly even blend of Marsanne, Roussanne and Grenache Blanc, fermented with indigenous yeast and aged ten months in predominantly neutral French oak. Tart green apple and lemon define the profile, while a subtle note of honeydew adds a gentle, rounded sweetness that tempers the sharper edges. The mid palate delivers a surprising pop of acidity that keeps the blend from drifting into softness. Cuvée Papou is an honourable nod to northern Rhône white blends, expressed with elegant sensibility.
