Rich berry preserves and crushed herbs flow with impressive weight and concentration. Mineral tension cuts through the generous fruit, while integrated tannins provide structure without heaviness. The finish lingers with spice and floral echoes. Built for the long haul.

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.
