WINE DESCRIPTION
Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a highly esteemed wine from the Rhone Valley in France. It is a blend of many grape varieties, including Mourvèdre, Counoise, Grenache, Syrah, Vaccarèse, and Cinsault, that has been made at the estate since the 1930s. The wine has an intense, complex aroma of red and black fruits, violets, spice, and garrigue. On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful, with a chewy texture and ripe, juicy tannins. Flavors of red currant, cherry, and blackberry mingle with notes of licorice, pepper, and tobacco, giving the wine great complexity and depth. The finish is long and persistent, with a lingering, mineral-tinged aftertaste. This is a truly remarkable expression of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
