Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2012 is a full-bodied, blended red wine from the southern Rhône Valley. Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape is one of the iconic red wines of the Southern Rhône. The domaine traces its history back to 1549, when Pierre de Beaucastel purchased his first plot of Coudoulet vines. The estate has been operated since 1909 by successive generations of the Perrin family and continues to reside among the elite producers of the region. "What I think might end up being the best Beaucastel since the 1990 or 2001, the 2012 Châteauneuf du Pape offers a full-bodied, decadent style to go with awesome black and blue fruits, garrigue, liquorice, crushed flowers and violets. The purity here is truly something, and it has fabulous mid-palate concentration, building tannin and massive texture. Given all of the fruit and texture here, it will no doubt drink well in its youth, but it should still be alive and kicking after two decades as well." Wine Advocate, 2014

Vinous
Opaque ruby. Potent, mineral-laced raspberry and cherry aromas are complicated by suave floral and spice qualities, picking up white pepper and cola accents with air. Seamless, round and sweet on the palate, offering intense red berry preserve and floral pastille flavors with a touch of allspice. Finishes sappy and precise, with velvety tannins and a late jolt of cherry compote. Josh Raynolds1st April 2015
