Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf-du-Pape red 2007

Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2007 offers a remarkable opportunity to experience one of the estate’s great vintages at full maturity. Retasted by Jeb Dunnuck fifteen years after the vintage and awarded 97 points, the wine is now firmly within its prime drinking window. The generous character of 2007 comes through in an intense bouquet of sweet black raspberry, red plum, incense, herbes de Provence, leather and lavender. The palate is full-bodied, rich and opulent, supported by sweet, beautifully integrated tannins. Extended bottle ageing has brought additional complexity without diminishing the wine’s remarkable depth and richness. Dunnuck considers it fully ready to drink while expecting it to continue evolving for another two decades. An exceptional mature Beaucastel offering immediate pleasure as well as further ageing potential.
