Wild strawberry and licorice mingle with minty herbs and structured dark fruit. César Perrin's component tastings reveal exceptional depth across all varieties. The Grenache-Counoise-Cinsaut blend showing gorgeous red-toned fruit, while Mourvèdre provides serious backbone. Silky tannins and vibrant freshness suggest this could rival the outstanding 2022.

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.
