The Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc Roussanne Vieilles Vignes Beaucastel 2016 is a focused expression of the Roussanne grape, crafted from vines over a century old. This white wine showcases the nuances of its terroir, reflecting the impacts of vintage variability. On the nose, it reveals subtle aromas of ripe stone fruit, accompanied by a delicate herbal character and underlying minerality. The palate is rich, with a textured mouthfeel and a structured finish that speaks to aging potential.

Vinous
Limpid gold. An impressively complex, mineral-tinged bouquet evokes ripe citrus and orchard fruits, toasted brioche, white flowers and honey, and hints of fennel and honey emerge with air. Shows superb delineation and powerful thrust on the palate, offering ripe orange, pear, melon, sweet butter and anise flavors that tighten up steadily on the back half. Powerful yet graceful in character, displaying excellent delineation and spicy cut on an extremely long, floral-accented finish that leaves a sappy pear nectar note behind. Cellar this one with complete confidence.Josh Raynolds1st October 2018
