Rich yet surprisingly lifted, the 2023 Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc layers ripe pear, golden stone fruit and baked lemon with notes of almond and Provençal herbs. The texture is silky and broad, almost oily, but the vintage’s freshness keeps everything precise and flowing, leading to a long, savory, subtly bitter finish that gives this opulent white real class and drive.

Château de Beaucastel’s Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape Blanc is a terroir‑driven white from the Perrin family, built mostly around Roussanne with supporting Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Bourboulenc (and occasional other permitted varieties), grown on the appellation’s molasse and galet‑covered soils. It’s fermented and aged in a mix of oak and stainless steel to preserve freshness while adding texture, producing a richly textured yet precise wine of white‑flower and stone‑fruit aromas, saline minerality and good aging potential.
