Beaucastel Chateauneuf 2005

Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2005 is a benchmark Rhône wine from one of the appellation’s finest vintages. Deep garnet in colour, it reveals concentrated aromas of black cherry, blackberry and plum, layered with notes of garrigue, liquorice, leather and sweet spice. Full-bodied and beautifully structured, the palate combines remarkable depth with silky tannins and vibrant freshness, leading to a long, complex finish that continues to evolve with age.

Unlike many producers in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Château de Beaucastel continues to use all 13 permitted grape varieties in its flagship red wine. The estate has also been practising organic farming since the 1960s and biodynamic viticulture since the 1970s, long before either became widespread. The exceptional 2005 vintage is regarded as one of the finest of the modern era, combining power, balance and extraordinary longevity.
