Suckling om: Chateauneuf du Pape Chateau de Beaucastel

Handy depth of dark, stony minerals and ripe, dark berries with a wealth of plush tannins. Dark plums and rich, chocolate liqueur to close. Impressive. Drink or hold. 99/100

International Wine Report om: Chateauneuf du Pape Chateau de Beaucastel

The 2016 'Les Romains' is simply gorgeous, as it begins with striking aromatics of wildflowers, honey, lychee and cantaloupe that immediately draw you in. The texture and minerality is simply stunning, as flavors of with tree fruit and citrus oil leave a mark. The oily, unctuous character this possesses is found in very few Sauvignon Blancs. An absolutely brilliant wine from one of the leading producers in the region. 98/100

Parker om: Chateauneuf du Pape Chateau de Beaucastel

-- Parker: Bottled only a week before my visit, I was blown away by how well Beaucastel's 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape was showing. It's full-bodied, creamy, lush and rich, with layers of raspberry fruit, garrigue and spice that unfold across a seamless palate. No doubt it will go through cycles of being open and closed throughout its lifespan, but it would be a mistake to simply order a case, put it into storage and forget about it without trying one first and swooning over the sheer lusciousness and youthful complexity.97/100

Wine Spectator om: Chateauneuf du Pape Chateau de Beaucastel

-- Wine Spectator: Youthfully reticent, but warm and polished in feel, with a large core of cassis, raspberry and cherry puree notes lying in wait for now. Threads of red licorice, warm stone and singed mesquite and cedar emerge steadily through the lengthy finish as the fruit unwinds slowly. Concentrated yet precise. Sock this away in the cellar. Best from 2023 through 2040. 97/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateauneuf du Pape Chateau de Beaucastel

-- Jeb Dunnuck: Being bottled the day of my visit, 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. 96+/100

Famille Perrin

Beaucastel har bestemt været primus inter pares i det sydlige Rhône i årtier og er en af de få vingårde, der stadig bruger alle 13 godkendte druesorter til den røde Chateauneuf.
