Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Beaucastel 1998

Price

£110.00

Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape is one of the iconic red wines of the Southern Rhône. Château de Beaucastel`s history dates to 1549, when Pierre de Beaucastel acquired land in the Coudoulet area. In 1909, the Perrin family took control of the estate and has since been a pioneer in elevating Châteauneuf-du-Pape to the world stage.

The estate is renowned for producing terroir-driven red wines that incorporate all 13 traditional grape varieties of the appellation, including Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Muscardin, Vaccarèse, Counoise, Terret Noir, Picpoul, Clairette, Roussanne, Bourboulenc, and Picardan.

"The atypically Grenache-dominated 1998 Châteauneuf du Pape is fully mature and gives up tons of kirsch, garrigue, liquorice and a touch of gaminess in its full-bodied, layered and ripe personality. More rounded and sexy than most vintages, it has no hard edges, plenty of mid-palate depth and a great finish. I see no reason to delay gratification, but it will certainly hold for 5-10 years." Wine Advocate, 2015
