Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape blanc 2023

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2026 (Sept. 2025): 93/100. In white, we appreciate the freshness and balanced texture of the 2023: the Châteauneuf-du-Pape is not lacking in tension.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Joe Czerwinski, Sept. 2024): 93/100. The 2023 Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc from Château de Beaucastel reveals aromas of ripe pear, white flowers, herbs, spices and hints of fresh thyme. Medium to full-bodied, round and sappy, it’s enveloping and generous with a seamless texture, gastronomic bitterness and a long, saline, fresh finish. Very harmonious, this is a deep, fleshy Châteauneuf-du-Pape composed of 80% Roussanne and 20% Clairette, Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc, Picardan and Piquepoul. (drink date: 2026-2036)
