Description

This wine is produced with grapes grown from a single, 110-hectare plot to the north of the appellation. The Mourvèdre dominant blend (40%), in fact, contains all 13 permitted varieties of the appellation. The nose is beautifully fragrant with redcurrants, blueberries, and strawberries. Darker forest fruits, white pepper and a hint of spice emerge on the palate with firm but glossy tannins. Drink 2024 to 2040.

Critics reviews

Alistair Cooper MW 17.5/20
Cask sample. Very inviting nose, liquorice, dark crushed cassis, leather, strawberry jam – earthy dark spice. A supple and ripe palate with good freshness and acidity throughout. Tight and fine, firm tannins, dark fruits, liquorice, thyme and a ripe savoury-tinged finish. Wonderful. 2028-2040Alistair Cooper MW, JancisRobinson.com (October 2022)

A deep, quite herbal expression, with liquorice and crushed blueberries to the cassis fruit. Full-bodied, powerfully fruited, dense and deep. Really mouthcoating, intense fruit. The tannins are ripe, fine and plentiful, all saturated in blackberry juice on a long finish. Certainly one of the more successful Châteauneufs this year. Will age well. A Mourvèdre-led expression of Beaucastel - it contains more than usual, at least 35% and probably more. Grenache and Cinsault fermented in cement, Syrah and Mourvèdre fermented in foudre.2020-2045matt_walls, Decanter (October 2022)
