Description
Château de Beaucastel is located in a magical setting dotted with vineyards, centuries-old olive trees and truffle oaks. Beaucastel, that is the most famous wine of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Here you will find nature in its purest form and its power comes to rest. The typical rolled boulders are the secret of its vineyards in which gnarled vines grow in traditional 'gobelet' shapes. On this ancient soil we find the 13 grape varieties that are permitted in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. All these 13 grape varieties form the basis of the mythical blends of Château de Beaucastel, where they are grown biodynamically. They are one of the last to make use of the richness and complexity that this blend offers.
The history of Beaucastel starts in the early 17th century. The Perrins appeared in the early 20th century. We are now five generations further and there is a global company in the field of quality wines. From very affordable to the absolute top. Everything about the vision, technique and vineyard management that has given Beaucastel the coveted global top position applies to the vineyards and the wines with the other appellations of origin, such as Ventoux, Luberon, Cotes du Rhone, Gigondas, Vinsobres, Rasteau and Vacqueyras. While retaining its own character; the differences between the wines are large and prove the respectful working method. The Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Roussanne Vieilles Vignes is a unique and exceptional wine due to its rare grape variety, old vines, limited production, unique terroir, expert vinification, complex flavor profile, and excellent reputation. These factors make it a highly sought-after wine among wine lovers and collectors worldwide.
The most famous wine from 100% roussanne is the white Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes from Château de Beaucastel. A beautiful wine with notes of lime, pear, orange peel, caramel and honeysuckle on the palate, which are followed by a lively and very long aftertaste with beautiful acidity. In the nose we recognize aromas of grapefruit, exotic fruit, jasmine, honey, hazelnut and anise. Only 500 cases of 3 bottles are made of this (so 1500 bottles). Unprecedentedly beautiful and typical is Parker's last sentence from the review: "I found it especially hard to spit out."
FACT: The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you pick up the wine you will often receive a nice discount . You will see your discount immediately when you choose 'Collect' on the checkout page. We are located in Dordrecht almost next to the A16 with plenty of parking. Click here for our address.
The Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Roussanne Vieilles Vignes is a special and highly sought-after wine, and there are several reasons why this wine is so special:
1. Unique Grape Variety:
The wine is made from 100% Roussanne, a white grape variety known for its aromatic complexity and ability to ripen well. Roussanne is rare in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, where most white wines are blends of multiple grape varieties.
2. Old Vines:
The term "Vieilles Vignes" means "old vines". The Roussanne grapes for this wine come from very old vines, often more than 75 years old. Old vines produce fewer grapes, but the grapes they produce are of exceptional quality and concentration.
3. Limited Production:
The production of this wine is limited due to the rarity of the grapes and the age of the vines. This makes the wine difficult to obtain and increases its exclusivity and appeal.
4. Unique Terroir:
Château de Beaucastel is located in the southern Rhône Valley, a region known for its excellent terroir. The vineyards have a unique combination of calcareous clay, galets roulés and sand, which contributes to the complexity and depth of the wine.
5. Expert Vinification:
Château de Beaucastel is one of the most respected wineries in the Rhône Valley, with a long history of quality viticulture. The wine is carefully vinified respecting traditional methods, including fermentation and aging in oak barrels, which contributes to its complexity and aging potential.
6. Flavor profile:
The Roussanne Vieilles Vignes has a complex and rich flavor profile with aromas of honey, peach, apricot, and subtle floral notes, combined with a mineral freshness and a long, elegant aftertaste. The aging potential is also remarkable, with the ability to age for decades and increase in complexity.
7. Recognition and Reputation:
The wine has consistently received high scores from wine critics and is recognized as one of the best white wines of the Rhône Valley and even the world. This recognition contributes to the demand and prestigious status of the wine.

Even better than the Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc, the richer, more concentrated 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape Roussanne Vieilles Vignes comes from a single parcel of vines located beside the Chateau that were planted in 1909. Full-bodied, rich, gorgeously concentrated and textured, with fabulous notes of orange blossom, buttered citrus, marmalade and honey, it will be up with the crème de la crème of the vintage. It’s worth noting that since 2009, the estate has changed the viticulture with regards to their whites, moving to slightly larger yields, with the goal of making a more elegant white that ages more predictably.
This reference point estate continues to achieve incredible quality in just about every vintage. They’ve certainly made the wine of the vintage in 2014 with their Hommage a Jacques Perrin release, and it defies the vintage characteristics. As to their 2015s, Marc Perrin commented during my visit that he’d never seen a vintage where ever variety excelled like in 2015. I was able to taste through all of the single varieties that will go into their Châteauneuf du Pape cuvées, and he’ll get no argument from me on that assertion. I’ve also opted to include their Famille Perrin Gigondas and Vinsobres releases in this report as well. The top cuvées from Gigondas (no Vieilles Vignes was presented this go around) are truly great wines; the Vinsobres Les Hauts de Julien is easily one of the top wines from the appellation and would pass undetected in a blind lineup of great northern Rhône Syrahs.

From: Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc: Moving Out of the Shadows (Jun 2017)
(half raised in stainless steel tanks and half raised in barriques) Limpid yellow-gold. Expansive aromas of orange pith, nectarine, iodine, pungent flowers and honey acquire a smoky mineral nuance as the wine opens up. Densely packed and vibrant as well, offering ripe citrus and pit fruit flavors that show a refreshingly bitter edge and a core of minerality. Tense, pure and vibrant for its size, finishing with emphatic mineral thrust and persistent floral and citrus fruit notes. The interplay of richness and energy here is really impressive.
