Chateau de Beaucastel 2023 Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge 1.5 Liter

About This Wine

Rich and commanding in a big-bottle package, the 2023 magnum reveals deep plum, dark cherry, and black olive at its core — layered with dusty Provençal herbs, cracked black pepper, and a subtle undercurrent of graphite. The palate is full-bodied and dense, showing chewy tannins that deliver impressive structure, while concentrated dark fruit and savory spice build toward a long, mouth-coating finish. The magnum format accentuates the wine’s balance and aging potential, making it a bold, cellar-worthy choice for anyone who enjoys power and nuance in equal measure.
