97/100 James Suckling & (95 - 97)/100 Parker
When to drink this wine? 2023 - 2037. Great ageing potential.
Tasted by Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate) on May 5, 2022: "The Châteauneuf du Pape 2020 de Beaucastel is complex and fruity, with floral and garrigue notes, expansive and richly textured on the palate, finishing long and silky.
The grape varieties: a blend of 30% Grenache and Mourvèdre, 10% Counoise and Syrah, plus 20% other authorised grape varieties, including a good proportion of white grapes.
How did the 2020 vintage turn out?
2020 : Favoured by very good weather conditions, the 2020 vintage is a year of optimal quality. Less hot than 2019, this year was very windy throughout the vegetative cycle, with little rain. The harvest is very healthy with beautiful, juicy and ripe grapes, reasonable alcohol levels, good acidity and already a good balance.
Location: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, between Orange and Avignon, Château de Beaucastel rouge is a 70 hectare vineyard.
Terroir : Château de Beaucastel has about 110 hectares in a single block in the north of the appellation. The terroir is the archetypal Châteauneuf terroir: pebbles on the surface, clay, sand and limestone at depth. The vines are old and the organic farming practiced for over 50 years has allowed their roots to go deep into the soil. Beaucastel cultivates the thirteen grape varieties authorised by the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation.
Elaboration: Each grape variety is picked separately by hand. Vinification is carried out in truncated wooden vats for the reducing grape varieties (Syrah, Mourvèdre) and in traditional concrete and enamelled stoneware vats for the oxidative grape varieties (all the others). At the end of the malolactic fermentation, the Perrin family blends the different grape varieties, then the wine is aged in oak tuns for a year before being bottled.
Service: Around 15°C. If possible, remember to decant the wine.
