Rich honeyed texture carries white peach, candied orange and wet limestone through a concentrated yet lifted palate. The mineral spine cuts cleanly through the fruit weight, creating impressive tension. Old vines deliver remarkable depth without heaviness, finishing with lime blossom and chalky persistence.

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.
