Château de Beaucastel Description
Château de Beaucastel is 110 hectares, with one single plot at the north of the appellation. The terroir is archetypal of the best terroirs in Châteauneuf: rolled pebbles on the surface, sand, clay and limestone deeper down. The vines are old and have been organically grown for 50 years, which has allowed the roots to grow exceptionally deep. Beaucastel grows all thirteen grape varieties authorised by the appellation.
Wine Advocate: 94+ Points
As usual, the 2023 Chateauneuf du Pape from Château de Beaucastel was matured in foudres. Wafting from the glass with aromas of pepper, garrigue, dark berries and flowers, it’s medium- to full-bodied, round and sappy, with a layered core of fruit and a dense, precise mid-palate framed by velvety tannins, concluding with a firmer, gently spicy finish.
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape shows well, unwinding with intense blackberry, black cherry and licorice aromatics. Silky and elegant, it hits the full-bodied palate with energy and drive, coming to a close with freshness and focus on the rounded finish.
