Description
A brilliant wine from this 131ha domaine which is one of the most important in the appellation and was one of the first to practice organic viticulture – no herbicides, insecticides or any other chemical. Château de Beaucastel is also famed for using all 13 permitted grape varieties in its final blend from vines that average 50 years old. The blend is then aged in oak Foudres (large oak vat) for a year before being bottled.
Tasting Notes :
The wine reveals a saturated purple color as well as a super-rich, blockbuster-styled bouquet of blackcurrants, blackberries, ground pepper, truffle, charcuterie, and God knows what else. With full-bodied richness, a stacked, opulent mid-palate, building tannins, and a sensational finish, it’s another perfect wine for the keeping.
