Château de Beaucastel - Châteauneuf-du-Pape - Blanc - 2022

Wine:

With 80% Roussanne, demonstrating unwavering consistency, the 2022 white Châteauneuf-du-Pape once again offers a complex and particularly delicate juice this year. With its consistently fresh aromas of juicy pear and white fruits, it masterfully manages its power and richness, especially with an extremely long and tasty finish. The balance between ripeness and freshness is at its peak, and its ability to handle the vintage is simply remarkable. Already delicious, it will, of course, age gracefully. Rated 94/100 by Parker.
