Media Reviews

Joe Czerwinski

The 500-case production of this wine comes from a three-hectare parcel of Roussanne planted in 1909. The 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Roussanne Vieilles Vignes takes the quality of Beaucastel`s traditional white and raises it another level. Caramelized pineapple sounds sweet and cloying, but it isn`t when it`s backed by amazing texture, citrus zest and a briny sensation on the never-ending finish. As this was the last wine of my visit to the estate, I found it especially hard to spit out. Drink 2017 - 2030. 96 points
