Tasting notes
Revealing a touch of darker gold in its color, the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is another blockbuster that continues to shine every time I've opened a bottle. Ripe, decadent and supple, it has boatloads of honeycomb, caramelized citrus, brioche and ripe tropical fruits to go with a gorgeously textured feel on the palate. I suspect it's best consumed over the coming year or two or cellared for 5-6 years.

A blend of 80% Roussanne and the remainder Grenache blanc, Picardan, Bourboulenc and Clairette that’s aged mostly in stainless steel and 20% in 225 liter oak casks, the 2007 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc sports gorgeous aromas of pear and lemon-laced fruit that’s intermixed with green almonds, licorice and copious mineral and freshly crushed stone notes. Medium to full bodied on the palate with stunning depth, a layered, rich texture and edgy precision, this awesome white can be drunk now or aged for two decades.
About the producer
This Châteauneuf-du-Pape estate is one of the Rhône’s most famous addresses. With a history stretching back to the 16th century, Beaucastel remains family owned and run, with the fifth generation of the Perrin family – Marc, Pierre, Thomas, Cécile, Charles, Matthieu and César – at the helm today.
