CHÂTEAU DE BEAUCASTEL CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE BLANC VIEILLES VIGNES 2009 (2)

Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
u. 2 x 1 cm.

Even richer and more concentrated than the 2011, the blockbuster-styled 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is almost overflowing with notes of marmalade, ripe pineapple, white flowers and assorted honeyed nuances. A big, ripe and layered white, it stays remarkably fresh and lively on the palate, although I suspect there's little real acidity. Beautiful on all counts, it's so good now, I don't see a need to hold off, but it will be very long-lived. September 2015 Drink: 2015-2059 WA 96

CHÂTEAU DE BEAUCASTEL CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE BLANC VIEILLES VIGNES 2010 (2)

Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
u. 2 x 1 cm.

80% Roussanne and 20% Grenache blanc vinified in tank, the wine displays the typical tropical fruit notes intermixed with rose petals, crushed rock, spring flowers and a rather exotic, somewhat tropical character, but tangerines dominate the fruit spectrum. October 2012 WA 95

CHÂTEAU DE BEAUCASTEL CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE BLANC VIEILLES VIGNES 2011 (2)

Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
u. 2 x 1 cm.

One of my favorite vintages for this cuvee, the 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc never fails to impress. Revealing a medium-gold color, it has gorgeous richness and depth in its honeyed stone fruits, peach, buttered-citrus and salty minerality. Voluptuous, full-bodied and decadently textured, it has both freshness and focus, both of which come through on the finish. I'd drink bottles over the coming 2-3 years, or hold off for a decade. September 2015 Drink: 2015-2041 WA 94
