Château de Beaucastel White Roussanne Vieilles Vignes 2010
Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc - Famille Perrin
97+/100 Parker
When to drink this wine? : Wine at maturity, to drink now.
Tasting: “The Beaucastel Châteauneuf du Pape Roussanne Vieilles Vignes 2010 has an extraordinary richness. Note that here the aging is a little different since it is aged in one-year-old barrels with a touch of new wood, but like its brother, it no longer undergoes malolactic fermentation. A deep wine with notes of nectarine, mango, subtle smoke, rose petals, this sumptuous full throttle wine has unmistakable minerality, a skyscraper texture and a surprisingly laser-like finish with incredible amounts of glycerin and of fruits. ."
Description: Considered one of the greatest white wines of France, only 6,000 bottles of this wine are produced. Made from 100% very old Roussanne grapes, picked when slightly over-ripe, this exceptional wine will be drunk before 2-3 years or in 10 years, with great gastronomy (chicken with truffles...).
Location : The Château de Beaucastel has a vineyard of 7 hectares planted with white grape varieties.
Terroir :Miocene marine molasses covered by an alpine diluvium (rolled pebbles).
Elaboration : Manual harvest, sorting of the harvest, picking in boxes, pneumatic pressing, settling, fermentation (30% in pieces, 70% in vats).
Maturing for 8 months (30% in pieces, 70% in vats). Bottling after 8 months.
Grape varieties: Roussanne: 100%.
