Château de Beaucastel - Châteauneuf-du-Pape - Rouge - 2021

Wine:

With stunning notes of black truffle, ripe plum, and juicy cherry—thanks to a generous proportion of Mourvèdre—the 2021 Red Châteauneuf-du-Pape confidently showcases its depth. This powerful, full-bodied, and concentrated wine features smooth, silky tannins that elegantly frame its rich, voluptuous structure, extending beautifully on the palate. Undoubtedly one of the finest expressions of this delicate vintage, rated 94/100 by Parker.

Color:

Deep red with violet highlights.

Nose:

The balance between ripeness and freshness is perfect, with notes of macerated black fruit and delicate spices.

Palate:

Voluptuous and elegant from the first taste, this cuvée tends towards a juice with spicy, garrigue flavors, a masterful balance between tannic richness and pleasant roundness.
