Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge 2017

Château de Beaucastel has long been regarded as one of the greatest wines in France. It is notorious for its elegance, balance and ageing potential. Beaucastel has an exceptional terroir at the Northern limit of Châteauneuf du Pape, exposed to the Mistral wind. All thirteen varieties of the appellation have been organically grown since the sixties.

95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate     The full-bodied, dense 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape seems a bit closed at the moment, but Asian five spice powder still brings plenty of complexity and nuance to the rich, dark fruit aromas and flavours. Multi-dimensional, layered and long, this is another terrific vintage for Beaucastel's main cuvée. Overall a great vintage!
