Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc Beaucastel 2022

Description

The 16th century Château de Beaucastel was acquired by the Perrin family in the early 1900s. With a global following for their benchmark Châteauneuf du Pape, the wines at this historic property are consistently among the finest in the region.

Beaucastel make a tiny quantity of white Châteauneuf-du-Pape from 80% Roussanne, grown on limestone based soil. It is a beautifully textured, balanced and expressive wine. This wine is pale yellow in colour. On the nose, there are intense aromas of apple, lemon and pear. It is a fresh, vibrant and crisp wine with balanced acidity.

Fragrant honeysuckle, lemon peel, white peach and ripe pear aromas highlight the delicious 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc. Vibrant and focused, it checks in at 14% alcohol and delivers a mouthful of gorgeous white Châteauneuf-duPape. Finishing with discrete saltiness, the 2022 gracefully walks off the stage. I loved it!. 93 Points, Vinous
