Château de Beaucastel, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, 2021

Elegant, Ample and Silky Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Magnificent deep-red colour with purple undertones. The nose reveals balance between the maturity and freshness. Very elegant, ample and silky on the palate, it opens up with a spicy attack with aromas of “garrigue” then reveals, as on the nose, a perfect balance between its beautiful tannic richness and its delicate roundness.
