Dark fruit intensity meets garrigue herbs and violet florals in this polished expression. The palate shows excellent energy and focus, with ripe cherry and blackberry fruit supported by fine-grained tannins. Spice and mineral notes build on the long finish. Built for decades. Drink 2028-2035.

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.
