Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf-du-Pape Roussanne Vieilles Vignes white 2025 Magnum

Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Roussanne Vieilles Vignes Blanc 2025 stands among the world’s most extraordinary dry white wines. Awarded an exceptional 99 points by Jeb Dunnuck in October 2026, this legendary cuvée represents the ultimate expression of Roussanne at Beaucastel. Produced entirely from very old vines grown in a single parcel near the château in the northern part of the appellation, the wine is aged in demi-muids to preserve its remarkable depth, purity and complexity. Dunnuck describes it as an intensified version of the estate’s classic white Châteauneuf-du-Pape, offering extraordinary concentration without sacrificing freshness or precision. White currants, honeyed orange, toasted spices and chalky minerality create a beautifully layered aromatic profile. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is pure, focused and vibrant, combining generous richness with clean acidity and exceptional balance. The finish is long, mineral and remarkably persistent. Expected to gain further richness over the coming years, the 2025 has the structure to evolve for more than two decades. A truly exceptional white wine and a magnificent addition to any serious collection.
