The Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2016 is a masterclass in balance and power. Made from all thirteen permitted grape varieties, with a notable share of Mourvèdre, it delivers an extraordinary aromatic profile: black fruits, noble leather, spices, truffle, and garrigue. The palate is rich and structured, with dense yet refined tannins and a long, elegant finish. A benchmark wine that lives up to the estate’s legendary status.

Why choose this wine:

Château de Beaucastel is a flagship estate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and the 2016 vintage stands as one of its finest in recent years. This wine perfectly captures Beaucastel’s signature style: controlled power, layered complexity, and noble balance. Perfect with game, roasted meats, or earthy mushroom dishes, it can be enjoyed now after decanting or cellared for decades. A must-have for Rhône wine enthusiasts.

Note de Dégustation de Jeb Dunnuck

the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape checks in as a blend of 30% Mourvèdre, 30% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Counoise, and the rest a mix of permitted varieties. It offers a ripe, sexy, rounded style that quickly shows more structure, minerality, and tannin with time in the glass. Blackberries, blueberries, smoked earth, violets, and garrigue all give way to a full-bodied, deep, structured Beaucastel that's going to benefit from 5-7 years of bottle age and keep for two decades. It reminds me of the 2001.
