Château de Beaucastel has long been regarded as one of the most celebrated estates in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The vineyard is situated at the northern limit of CNDP where it benefits from its exposure to the mistral winds. All 13 permitted varieties are planted in the vineyard and used in the wine.

"mild yellow, legs down the glass. Cooked fruits, fruit tart , light bonbon air with a spicy poise. Butter, ripe lime, light banana, has silex, flint top airs that contribute pep. The palate grips well, has deep-seated gras richness and a real good consecutive flow, a steady, smooth run to the finish. Has fine tannin and grip on the aftertaste, and a lightly salty 2010 Roussanne sign-off. Elegant, unhurried wine which possesses good subtleties and detail. There is cut, an aniseed note on the finish. As it ages, it will retain a core of richness. From mid-2012, and it may pause around 2014 or so, then come back from 2018 on. 2028-30." John Livingstone-Learmonth
All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab.
Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
