The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Iconic in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Château de Beaucastel has earned its reputation as one of the most innovative and brilliant estates in the appellation. Its remarkable terroir of rolled pebbles and an unwavering commitment to perfection give rise to exceptional wines known for their depth and elegance, which age beautifully. Truly an iconic address!
Wine Crafted from a fine blend of the black grape varieties of the appellation, the 2020 red Châteauneuf-du-Pape reveals a rather juicy palette with a Mediterranean dominance of white flowers, scrubland, and spices. The full and fleshy palate, with a powerful tannic structure, remains fine and elegant, enlivened by a great freshness.
Vinification Separate hand harvested for each grape variety. Vinification in truncated wooden vats for Syrah and Mourvèdre, in traditional concrete and sandstone vats for the other grape varieties. Blending of the different grape varieties and aging in oak barrels for one year.
