The biodynamic Chateau de Beaucastel is one of the greatest estates of Chateauneuf du Pape, known widely for the unusually high proportion of Mourvedre in the blend, which adds richness and colour. This powerful age-worthy red is one of the great classic wines of France, and the highly successful 2015 vintage is starting to drink well.
The 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape checks in as a blend of 30% each of Mourvèdre and Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Counoise and the rest a mix of permitted varieties, and they’re more and more keeping the stems with Syrah component. This is a beauty that offers more depth and richness than just about every other wine in the vintage. Blackberry, black raspberries, garrigue, spice and hints of saddle leather all flow to a full-bodied, rich, layered 2015 that has a stacked, concentrated mid-palate, ripe, sweet tannin and an undeniable opulence that’s missing from too many 2015s. Marc Perrin compared this cuvée to 2001, and I can’t disagree with him. Drink this blockbuster beauty anytime over the coming two decades. 96+/100 Jeb Dunnuck
