Located at the northern limit of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and exposed to the Mistral wind, Beaucastel benefits from an exceptional terroir. The estate spans 110 hectares in a single plot characterized by the region's finest soils - rolled pebbles on the surface with sand, clay, and limestone beneath. With vines that are old and organically grown for over 50 years, the roots have reached impressive depths. Beaucastel also uniquely cultivates all thirteen grape varieties authorized by the appellation, further contributing to its distinctive quality and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2022 vintage experienced contrasting climatic hazards which allowed to offer good quality grapes and a very promising aromatic complexity, with however a heterogeneous volume depending on the plots. Winter and spring were particularly mild and very dry, with the months of January and May proving to be the driest since the start of the 20th century, with record temperatures in May and June. These conditions allowed to maintain an excellent sanitary state of the vines, thanks to a total absence of disease. The summer was then very sunny with high temperatures that presaged high potential in terms of alcohol, but saving rains in mid-August allowed the grapes to slowly continue to mature. The harvest thus began on August 19th in very good conditions and 11 days ahead of 2021. It was punctuated by a few rainfalls in September which did not alter the superb quality of the grapes but made it necessary to carry out a light sorting in the vineyard. We have worked our rosés with finesse, for elegant, fruity and low-alcohol wines. The reds were gently vinified with delicate extractions which reveal particularly balanced wines. The first tastings suggest a 2022 vintage full of promise, with complex and aromatic palates and great balance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.custom-html-container,\n.custom-html-container * {\n  background-color: transparent !important;\n  box-shadow: none !important;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Remove any inherited top margin *\/\n  \n}\n\n.custom-html-container {\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Ensure container has no top space *\/\n  padding-top: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.custom-html-container .global-button {\n  background-color: #35174D !important;\n  color: #ffffff !important;\n  border: 2px solid #35174D !important;\n  display: inline-flex;\n  padding: 25px 40px;\n  font-family: Futura, sans-serif;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n  line-height: 110%;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  cursor: pointer;\n  transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Explicitly remove top margin *\/\n}\n  \n.custom-html-container .global-button:hover {\n  background-color: #ffffff !important;\n  color: #35174D !important;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center; margin-top: 0; padding-top: 0;\" class=\"custom-html-container\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"global-button\" href=\"\/collections\/chateauneuf-du-pape\"\u003eBrowse our Chateauneuf-du-Pape Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"JN Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55037196304728,"sku":"114506","price":154.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/chateau-de-beaucastel-chateauneuf-du-pape-2022-whelehans-wines-dublin-winestore.jpg?v=1750239750"},{"product_id":"domaine-tours-campanets-red-2024","title":"Domaine Tour Campanets, Côteaux d’Aix-en-Provence, Rouge, 2024","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA pure \"glou-glou\" wine - built for drinkability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"teaser-text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003eThis wine catches the eye with a lovely translucent garnet color.
