Beaucastel Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2015, 750ml [WA 96]

The 2015 Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf-du-Pape stands as a powerful testament to the excellence of the Southern Rhone in this sun-drenched vintage. The Perrin family has crafted a masterpiece that Jeb Dunnuck, writing for The Wine Advocate, awarded 96 points, highlighting its "full-bodied, concentrated" character and classic notes of "cured meats, truffles, and garrigue." On the palate, this wine offers a rich tapestry of black cherry, licorice, and spice, supported by the estate's signature high percentage of Mourvedre which provides backbone and longevity. It is a textured, savory experience that perfectly illustrates why Beaucastel remains a reference point for collectors worldwide.
