Note di degustazione
The 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc displays enticing tertiary characteristics already at this young age. It opens with well-defined aromas of petrol, dried ginger, jasmine, lemon zest, ripe pear and beeswax. Moving seamlessly across the palate, the 2020 Blanc is medium to full-bodied, impeccably well-balanced and concludes with a bright finish.

Beaucastel's 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is 80% Roussanne (half in new oak and half in second-use wood) and 20% other permitted varieties (made in stainless steel). Honeyed pear and pineapple notes dominate the nose, while the palate is full-bodied rich and luscious, yet remains vibrant, refreshing and long on the finish. I find it delicious now and don't see any need to age it, although it will undoubtedly hold together for several years.
You could almost mistake this very sophisticated and elegant white Chateauneuf for a white Burgundy, if it wasnât for the pronounced fresh-apricot note. This is ripe and fleshy, but in a refined way, the acidity at the finish supple, but it remains very clean and straight. A blend of roussanne with a small amount of grenache blanc. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
