Pale gold with evolved aromatics of dried fig, orange peel and white flowers over mineral undertones. Weighty but graceful, stone fruit and citrus meet distinctive fennel on a palate that builds complexity. The finish shows impressive length, anise and candied citrus lingering with mineral drive.

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.
