Chateau Beaucastel Chateauneuf Du Pape Blanc

The production of white wine at Beaucastel is limited as we only have 7 hectares of white vines planted. Handpicked in small cases, sorting of the grapes, pneumatic pressing, settling of the juice, fermentation (30% in oak barrels, 70% in tanks) for 8 months. Bottling after 8 months. Roussanne : 80% Grenache blanc : 15% Picardan, Clairette, Bourboulenc : 5% "The 2018 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc takes it up a notch, offering rocking notes of white peach, quince, crushed rocks, and honeysuckle. It’s medium to full-bodied, with a beautiful core of sweet fruit, a layered texture, and a great finish. It’s unquestionably another beautiful wine, and while 2018 was challenging for the whites, you wouldn’t know it by tasting this." 93-95/100 - Jeb Dunnuck - 2019
