Chateau de Beaucastel is one of the iconic producers of the Southern Rhone. Their organic Chateauneuf du Pape is famously based on Mourvedre and includes all 13 permitted grape varieties. The 2006 was a great vintage, packed with spicy dark berries and offering up great richness and length.
Being bottled the day of my visit, the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape checks in as a blend of 30% Mourvèdre, 30% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Counoise, and the rest a mix of permitted varieties. It offers a ripe, sexy, rounded style that quickly shows more structure, minerality, and tannin with time in the glass. Blackberries, blueberries, smoked earth, violets, and garrigue all give way to a full-bodied, deep, structured Beaucastel that's going to benefit from 5-7 years of bottle age and keep for two decades. It reminds me of the 2001. 96+ / 100 Jeb Dunnuck.com
