Inky blackberry and blueberry mingle with garrigue herbs and smoky minerality. The palate shows impressive concentration for the appellation, with supple tannins framing the rich fruit core. Lavender and exotic spice notes add complexity to the long, clinging finish. Those 80-year-old vines deliver serious depth.

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.
