Château de Beaucastel - Châteauneuf-du-Pape White 2023

ORGANIC

Keywords : Salinity / Indulgent / Aging potential

The wine : One of the greatest white wines of the Rhône! This is how this sublime Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Château Beaucastel could be defined. Composed mainly of the Roussanne grape variety (80% of the blend), this delicious cuvée indeed expresses itself with great refinement and elegance. A great minerality and aromatic purity thus emanate from the glass. The palate is saline, indulgente and offers notes of peach, apricot, pear, and honey, complemented by a wonderful floral touch (hawthorn, honeysuckle) as well as beautiful aromas of butter and vanilla.The finish is of great persistence and is delicately mineral. A fine wine that can be enjoyed right now but also has tremendous aging potential !
