A sensual beauty with wild cherry, anise and crushed herbs flowing effortlessly. Medium-bodied yet concentrated, with firm but ripe tannins from the Mourvedre component. Gorgeous mineral backbone and spicy length. Drinking beautifully now with years ahead.

Château de Beaucastel

Beaucastel is one of Châteauneuf-du-Pape's benchmark estates, long associated with Mourvèdre-driven reds of unusual density and age-worthiness, and whites built substantially on Roussanne.
