Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2022
Rhone White Blends from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France
Winemaker Notes
Superb gold color, clear and shiny. The nose reveals a magnificent, very fresh and particularly floral aromatic bouquet dominated by delicate notes of white flowers. Of great elegance, the palate offers a perfect balance between roundness, finesse and complexity with tasty aromas of peaches and citrus fruit, a silky, soft and refined texture and very nice freshness. The finish is long thanks to a fine bitterness which brings a delicate saline note. A wonderful vintage of Beaucastel white.
James Suckling – 95 Points
Fantastic nose of cooked apricots, a wide spectrum of candied fruit and toasted nuts. Full-bodied, concentrated and creamy, with a very caressing texture on the mid palate and a very long finish that has great restrained power. From organically grown grapes.
Bordeaux Bard – 90 Points
This Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc dazzled with a floral-forward nose filled with white flower petals, granite, and a hint of nuttiness. Rich and full-bodied on the palate, it took me by surprise. With a higher ABV, it’s noticeable but balanced. It will be fascinating to see how this wine evolves over the coming years (Carson McEvoy).
Food Pairing
Pairs well with seafood dishes, Manchego and Parmesan cheese, as well as fruit tiramisu.
