Dense aromas of dark cherry, garrigue and smoked meat draw you in immediately. The palate shows impressive weight and concentration, with firm tannins that feel ripe rather than aggressive. Herb-laced fruit builds through the mid-palate, finishing with excellent length and stony minerality. A serious wine that justifies Beaucastel's reputation.

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.
