One of Châteauneuf's finest producers, Beaucastel creates wines with power, presence and a level of complexity that makes the wines mesmerising. 2007 was a great vintage in the region with the wines now ready to drink but with another 10 years of development ahead of them. Liquorice, spice, dark fruit, raspberry coulis, floral yet savoury. The ultimate Châteauneuf-du-Pape?
