Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2016 is a full-bodied, blended white wine from the southern Rhône Valley of France. Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape is one of the iconic red wines of the southern Rhône. Tracing 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. The 2017 white is dominated by Roussanne, which makes up 80% of the blend. "Just sensational, and one of the best examples of this cuvée out there, the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc boasts phenomenal notes of orange blossom, salty minerality, caramelized peach, and spice. Rich, full-bodied, unctuous and yet always pure and elegant, it’s one of the finest wines coming from this hallowed appellation." Jeb Dunnuck, 2017

Light brilliant yellow. A highly complex bouquet evokes ripe citrus and orchard fruits, white flowers and smoky minerals, and an exotic saffron nuance emerges as the wine opens up. Sappy and penetrating on the palate, offering concentrated Meyer lemon, pear nectar, candied ginger and toasted brioche flavors that become more lively on the back half. Distinctly powerful yet lithe as well, finishing with noteworthy energy and lingering floral and mineral flourishes.Josh Raynolds1st October 2018

Honeyed nose with apricot and peach fruit and lots of sweet vanilla and white chocolate. Touches of caramel. Enjoyable soft acidity. Long, plump, honey and melon notes on the finish. Packs it all in! (RH)Richard Hemming10th October 2018
