Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape 2021

Decanter : 96 Points

(9/30/2022) 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 Chateauneufs this year. Will age well. A Mourvedre-led expression of Beaucastel - it contains more than usual, at least 35% and probably more. Grenache and Cinsault fermented in cement, Syrah and Mourvedre fermented in foudre. Drinking: Window: 2030 - 2045.
